Analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research called it a ‘strong’ week-two performance, especially in a quiet summer weekend at the movies in the United States and Canada.
Holding in second place was Disney’s ‘Freakier Friday’ starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2003 body-swapping family film, at $14.5 million, Exhibitor Relations said.
Debuting in third place was Universal action sequel ‘Nobody 2’, starring Bob Odenkirk of ‘Better Call Saul’ fame, at $9.3 million.
“Critics like this story about a workaholic assassin trying to take a vacation with his family while getting caught up in trouble. Reviews and audience scores are both very good,” Gross said.
‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’, Disney’s reboot of the Marvel Comics franchise, dropped to fourth place at $8.8 million.
Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Emmy winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach star as the titular team of superheroes, who must save a retro-futuristic world from the evil Galactus.
Universal’s family-friendly animation sequel ‘The Bad Guys 2’, about a squad of goofy animal criminals actually doing good in their rebranded lives, dropped to fifth, earning $7.5 million.
