On the same weekend “Sausage Party” broke records and “Suicide Squad” made the most money at the domestic box office, a Western heist indie starring Jeff Bridges as a Texas Ranger is the weekend’s top performer.
Averaging an estimated $18,500 per screen, CBS Films and Lionsgate’s “Hell or High Water” came in on top, beating “Sausage Party,” which had the second-highest per-screen average of $10,828.
Of course the crime drama, also starring Chris Pine and Ben Foster, opened in only 32 theaters.
Centered on a divorced father and his ex-con brother,ย “Hell or High Water” covers their desperate scheme to save the family farm.
