After finishing in a close second place the previous two weekends, 20th Century Fox’s The Revenant moved into first place last weekend with $16.01 million. The Alejandro González Iñárritu directed western starring Leonardo DiCaprio was down 50 percent from the previous weekend, as the box office in general was slowed by Winter Storm Jonas hitting the East Coast. Sunday’s NFL Conference Championship Games were also expected to negatively impact Sunday’s grosses. Even with last weekend’s slowing, The Revenant continued to impress with $119.20 million after 17 days of wide release and an additional two weeks of limited release. The Revenant is likely to stabilize next weekend thanks in part to healthy word of mouth and the continued buzz around the film’s 12 Academy Award nominations.

Walt Disney Studios’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens was up one spot from the previous weekend to claim second place with $14.08 million. The seventh chapter of the Star Wars franchise was down 47 percent from the previous weekend. Without adjusting for inflation, The Force Awakens claimed the 10th largest sixth weekend gross on record. The Force Awakens continues to pad its total as the highest grossing film of all-time domestically with $879.11 million through 38 days of release. That leaves the film just $20.89 million away from becoming the first ever the reach the $900 million domestic mark. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is currently running 59 percent ahead of the $551.74 million 38-day take of 2009’s Avatar and 44 percent ahead of the $611.23 million 38-day gross of last year’s Jurassic World.

Universal Pictures’ Ride Along 2 was down two spots and 65 percent from its debut weekend to land in third with $12.46 million. The PG-13 rated comedy sequel starring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart held up much worse in its second weekend than 2014’s Ride Along, which fell 49 percent to take in $21.30 million. Word of mouth isn’t as strong for Ride Along 2 as it was for Ride Along, although last weekend’s winter storm obviously had an effect on the film’s hold as well. Ride Along 2 has grossed $58.61 million in 10 days. While that’s solid with the film’s price tag in mind, it’s below expectations and places the film 22 percent behind the $75.54 million 10-day start of Ride Along.

As expected, last weekend’s three new wide releases were fairly bunched together with one another. Only $785,519 separated the top opener from the lowest.

Dirty Grandpa opened in fourth place with $11.11 million. The R-rated comedy from Lionsgate starring Robert De Niro and Zac Efron performed towards the lower end of expectations. Poor critical reviews and Sunday’s NFL Conference Championship Games appear to have had more of an effect on Dirty Grandpa than they did on The Boy and The 5th Wave.

STX Entertainment’s The Boy debuted in fifth place with $10.78 million. The low-budget PG-13 rated horror film starring Lauren Cohan opened towards the lower end of expectations and was off to a solid start with its reported $10 million production budget in mind.

Sony Pictures’ The 5th Wave was off to a sixth place start of $10.33 million. The young adult adaptation starring Chloë Grace Moretz also opened towards the lower end of expectations. The film is performing stronger overseas than it is domestically.

Meanwhile, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi followed in seventh place with $9.03 million. The Michael Bay directed action thriller from Paramount Pictures was down 44 percent from the previous weekend, which represented one of the weekend’s better holds among wide releases. 13 Hours was helped out by healthy word of mouth and by expanding into 528 additional locations, which included an expansion into Canada. 13 Hours has grossed $32.76 million in 10 days. That is a bit below expectations.

The Revenant led the Oscar race with 12 nominations announced early Thursday morning including best picture, director (Alejandro González Iñárritu) and actor (Leonardo DiCaprio). The wilderness drama is one of eight films to fill the available 10 best-picture slots.

Others strong performers included sci-fi epic Mad Max: Fury Road with 10 nominations and The Martian with seven. Spotlight, about The Boston Globe‘s Catholic Church sex abuse investigation which was an awards season favorite, earned six, while recent release and Wall Street drama The Big Short earned five.

Surprises included Sylvester Stallone with a best supporting actor nod for bringing back Rocky Balboa in Creed, but director Ryan Cogler and start Michael B. Jordan were shut out, and celebrated English actress Charlotte Rampling for her work as a woman who learns of her husband’s devastation over his first love shortly before their anniversary party in 45 Years.

Oscar snubs included Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which although it got nominated for a bunch of technical awards, missed out on the big one including director for J.J. Abrams and best picture. Also, Idris Elba for Beasts of No Nation, Netfilx’s first original film and Will Smith for his work in Concussion, which received critical acclaim. Johnny Depp was passed over for his role as Whitey Bulger in Black Mass. And finally, a snub and a surprise for Straight Outta Compton, which got a nomination for best original screenplay only despite the N.W.A. biopic’s strong showing at the box office.

Below is the full list of nominations. The 88th Academy Awards will be handed out on Feb. 28.
