The third debut of the weekend, the Amy Winehouse biography, Back to Black, finished just behind Challengers with $2.8 million over the weekend for Focus Features. Meanwhile, last weekend’s fourth-place film, Tarot, tumbled all the way to seventh place were it made $2.0 million for Screen Gems. This gives the film a three-week total of $15.4 million. Falling three spots and landing in eighth-place was Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
