Meanwhile, 1917 crept into second place earning $15.8 million over the weekend. The film has now earned $103.9 million over its first five weeks in release. Dolittle, however, fell a spot, finishing in third over the weekend with $12.5 million. The comedy now sports a two-week total of $44.7 million.
This week’s first debut, the Guy Ritchie-directed The Gentlemen, took in $11.0 million over the weekend, finishing solidly in fourth place. Jumanji: The Next Level, however, dropped a spot, finishing in fifth place with $7.9 million. The film has now taken in $283.4 million over its first seven weeks in release.
The weekend’s other debut, The Turning, finished the weekend in sixth place with $7.3 million. Dropping one spot, to seventh place, was Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker which added another $5.2 million to give the film a six-week domestic total of $501.6 million.

The comedy Like a Boss dropped from the top ten, earning just $1.5 million in only its third weekend of release.

Blake Lively likely returns to the top ten next week when the action-thriller The Rhythm Section debuts. Horror fans may also give the new film Gretel & Hansel a push to make an appearance in the box-office weekend as well.
