Oscars Spotlight: Best Picture Nominees at the Box Office6 of 9
Hacksaw Ridge - $66.6 million
The first film directed by Mel Gibson in a decade could not measure up to his previous hits, but did outpace predictions with takings of $15.2 million on its opening weekend of Nov. 4. The WWII story, in which Andrew Garfield plays real-life hero Desmond Doss, has since managed to top $66 million. But it pales in comparison to war movie and previous Best Picture nominee American Sniper, which took a staggering $350 million at the box office in 2015.
