Despite mixed reviews and lukewarm audience reception, Mel Gibson's latest film, 'Flight Risk,' managed to secure the top spot at the box office over the weekend with an opening of $12 million. The Lionsgate thriller, starring Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery, and Topher Grace, follows a pilot flying an Air Marshal and a fugitive across Alaska.
While the film's performance wasn't deemed a resounding success, it still outperformed other releases in a relatively quiet weekend for the film industry, especially considering it is January, a typically slow month for movie-goers.
