For the second weekend in a row, a new film finished on top of the box-office weekend as Gran Turismo debuted with $17.3 million.
Meanwhile, Meg 2: The Trench remained ensconced in sixth place with $5.1 million over the weekend. This gives the film a four-week total of $74.4 million. Dropping two spots to finish in seventh-place this weekend was the R-rated comedy Strays with $4.7 million. The film now sports a two-week total of $16.1 million. Debuting in eighth place over the weekend with $3.3 million, was Retribution. The final new film in the top ten, The Hill, debuted in the ninth spot with $2.5 million this weekend. Finally, despite dropping two spots, Haunted Mansion managed to hold onto tenth place with $2.1 million over the weekend, giving it a five-week total of $62.3 million.
Three films found themselves displaced from the box-office top ten this weekend. Despite a seventh-place finish last week, Talk to Me failed to make the cut this weekend and departs the list with a five-week total of $41.1 million. After seven weeks in release, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One also dropped from the top ten, but the film still sports an overall tally of $168.1 million. Last weekend’s tenth-place finisher, The Last Voyage of the Demeter leaves the weekend box office top ten with a disappointing three-week total of only $13.3 million.
