Crazy Rich Asians continued to dominate at the box office taking in $25 million for the weekend. This is only a 5.7% drop from last week, one of the smallest week-to-week drops of all time. As anyone could have told you, this film will have great legs and will stick around on the top ten for quite a while. The film has now made $77 million domestically and just started its worldwide rollout and has taken $7 million for a total gross of $84 million.
In second place for the second week in a row is the giant shark flick, The Meg with $13 million. The film has now eaten $105 million domestically and $303 million internationally.
In third place with $10 million was the raunchy puppet comedy The Happytime Murders. This was a big underperformer. CAA wont be terribly happy with the results as they rep star Melissa McCarthy. Considering the film received a C- CinemaScore, dont expect this one to hang around.
Mission: Impossible Fallout bumped itself up to fourth place with $8 million. The film has now made $194 million domestically for a worldwide total of $538 million.
Disneys Christopher Robin also bumped itself up, and came in fifth place with $6.3 million. Domestically the film has now made $78 million and $112.7 worldwide.
Outside the top five: The Mark Wahlberg thriller Mile 22 came in sixth place, while the prehistoric adventure Alpha came in seventh. Spike Lees BlacKkKlansman fell to eighth, and A.X.L. the cyborg dog film opened in a disappointing ninth place. This will cause more trouble for the trouble-plagued studio Global Road. Falling to tenth place was the horror film Slender Man.
Next Week: Jon Cho uses Facebook to find his missing daughter as Searching opens wide, Oscar Isaac hunts down Eichmann (played by Ben Kingsley) in Operation Finale, and James Franco is a futuristic criminal in Kin. Expect Crazy Rich Asians to still take number one.
