The posh upstairs/downstairs antics of Downton Abbey: The Movie - the cinematic sequel to Julian Fellowes' hit TV series - was enough of a dapper draw to rake in an estimated $31 million in its opening weekend. It's a handsome haul that proved too much to overcome for Sylvester Stallone's Rambo: Last Blood and Brad Pitt's sci-fi flick, Ad Astra.
Adding in the overseas box office, Downton Abbey's pulled in $30.8 million, bringing its entire run so far to $61.8 million. Which is the type of take vs. budget (a meager $13 million) that might have Focus Features and Universal Pictures International working feverishly to craft a sequel.
Last Blood and Ad Astra didn't perform poorly however, with Pitt's well-reviewed space mystery snagging second place with $19.2 million. It was enough to just barely edge out Stallone's final installment in the 37-year Rambo franchise, which made $19 million.
