WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Magnificent Seven remake easily topped the chart with 35MM, with Chris Pratt boosting the usually solid Denzel opening range, though with a 90MM budget, this one may still need 150MM overseas to profit on big screens.Hard out there for a Western, especially a familiar one. Storks placed with 21.8MM, perhaps even more disappointing against a 70MM budget, another film that will need foreign receipts to have a chance at profit in theaters. Former champ Sully landed at No. 3 with 13.8MM on a leggy 36 percent drop, so faroutperforming recent Tom Hanks outings like Bridge of Spies and Captain Phillips.
