This gives the Sony Pictures Releasing film an overall total of $73.4 million. Also dropping a spot this weekend was Dune: Part Two which landed in third place with $11.1 million over the last three days. This gives the Warner Bros. film a five-week tally of $252.4 million. Finishing in fourth place was Kung Fu Panda 4 which brought in $10.2 million over the weekend despite losing a spot in the top ten since last weekend. The film now claims a four-week total of $151.7 million for Universal Pictures. Dropping to fifth place was Immaculate where it took in $3.3 million over the weekend, bringing its two-week tally to $11.1 million.
After claiming fifth place last weekend, Arthur the King fell to sixth this weekend, where it added $2.4 million to lift its three-week total to $19.1 million for Lionsgate Films.
