Despite the box office siphons of the Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games and the juggernaut franchise films, Hope Springs managed to overperform and posted an estimated weekend total of $15M and an opening week total of $20M.
Hope Springs finished at # 4 during its opening weekend, behind male-driven films aimed at younger audiences: The Bourne Legacy, The Campaign and The Dark Knight Rises.
Positive word of mouth is expected help Hope Springs hold on the box office.
