Box Office Weekend: Pixar’s Cars 3 Takes Top Spot from Wonder Woman
Pixar/Disney rode their newest offering, Cars 3, to the top of the box office this week with $53.5 million, pushing the juggernaut Wonder Woman to second place. Despite the drop to the number two spot, Wonder Woman still brought in an impressive $40.8 million to brings its three-week total to an impressive $274.6 million.
The new Tupac biopic, All Eyez on Me, came in third place with $27.1 million. From there, things get a little more pedestrian with The Mummy adding $13.9 million to bring its two-week total to $56. 5 million. The shark-infested thriller 47 Meters Down debuted to $11.5 million which was just a shade above the studio’s $10 million expectations. Sixth place belongs firmly to Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which added $8.5 million to its $150.1 million domestic total.
The new $20 million comedy, Rough Night, finished with only $8 million, good enough for seventh place on our list, but little else. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie added $7.4 million over the weekend to bring its three-week total to $58 million. Meanwhile, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 dropped to ninth-place earning $5 million, bringing its seven-week total to $374.9 million. Finally, the low-budget horror film It Comes at Night made $2.6 million in its second week of release to bring its total to $11.1 million.
This week, these films brace for the arrival of director Michael Bay’s latest foray into the destruction of childhood memories with Transformers: The Last Knight, which will certainly have something to say about who owns next weekend’s box office.
