It's only January, but the American box office may have already seen the biggest flops of the year as labours of love from Martin Scorsese and Ben Affleck proved costly. It was a casualty strewn weekend box office that was more remarkable for what didn't work than what did. On the positive side, NASA drama Hidden Figures continued to rise, topping the box office for the second week in a row. Meanwhile, at the New Zealand box office, Moana continues to surge forwards. Number one once again, the movie has now earned $5.42 million at the local box office, putting it in fifth place for all of 2016 after less than a month.
