BOX OFFICE UPSET: Blue-collar drama ‘A Working Man’ wins weekend as Snow White loses 66% of audience in week 2

After Disney's live-action remake of "Snow White" fell flat during its opening weekend, the movie's was bested in second weekend by the blue-collar drama "A Working Man" which had an opening of $15 million.

The revenue brought in by "Snow White" its second week was $14.2 million after the movie was shown at 4,200 locations. The weekend was a decline of 66 percent in revenue from its first weekend at the box office. Domestically, the film made $66.8 million as of Sunday and around $143.1 million worldwide and is hoping to surpass the expenses it sunk into the film at $370 million to market and produce.

The action and thriller, "A Working Man" produced by Amazon MGM Studios and directed by David Ayer, beat expectations. The movie, starring Jason Statham and co-written by Sylvester Stallone, details the story of a black ops veteran who leaves his special forces military career to work in construction.

Things take a turn when his boss' daughter is kidnapped by human traffickers and he goes on a search to bring her home. The movie scored an 89 percent on Rotten Tomatoes for its audience score but a 51 percent from the critics.

Some of the critics took issue with the movie over its masculine themes, with one Radheyan Simonpillai at CBC Radio claiming that it would only appeal "to a certain kind of demographic, who are very much rallying around a certain kind of masculinity."

The movie's victory over Disney's "Snow White" comes as Amazon MGM is seeking to become a larger player in the film industry after it purchased the rights to the James Bond franchise. The movie is based on the book, "Levon's Trade" by Chuck Dixon. Aside from Statham, the movie stars Jason Flemyng, Merab Ninidze, Maximilian Osinski, Cokey Falkow, Michael Peña and David Harbour.
