Both audiences and critics responded positively to the tense drama, the first of Eastwood from "American Sniper". Approximately 80% of people who came to see the movie this weekend had more than 35 years, according to Warner Bros. "This is the kind of sophisticated drama that is the antidote to older audiences against blockbusters designed for young people in the summer season," Watch Sully Online said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst at comScore gate receipts. "It shows that going to the cinema is not only a habit young. The older audiences also love going to the movies and 'Sully' is exactly the kind of movie that can make them leave home."

The second place was occupied income from box office thriller Screen Gems "When the Bough Breaks" starring Morris Chestnut Hill and Regina, with 15 million dollars. It exceeded its modest budget of 10 million, but failed the expectations of analysts and the figure established by the African-American thriller last year's "The Perfect Guy," which earned 25.9 million dollars in the same weekend.
