Midway defeated Doctor Sleep at the box office this weekend. 1 / 8

Roland Emmerich's World War II drama earned $17.5 million domestically in its first three days. 2 / 8

Shining sequel Doctor Sleep made $14.1 million. 3 / 8

That figure was well below expectations, as Doctor Sleep was projected to win the weekend. 4 / 8

On the bright side, it was relatively inexpensive to make, so it could still turn a profit. 5 / 8

Being the only mainstream horror movie on the market will help things too. 6 / 8

Midway's victory comes with the caveat it cost $100 million to make, a high price tag for an indie. 7 / 8

So it still has a long way to go before it makes its money back - and it may not even get there. 8 / 8
