No big surprises at the box office this weekend asJurassic World: Fallen Kingdomeasily stomped its way to #1 and slightly surpassed expectations to take in $150 million over the weekend. Although that’s well shy of the $208 million the previous movie made over its weekend three years ago, $150 million is still good for the fourth-highest opening of 2018, and the highest opening for a movie that wasn’t released by Disney. Additionally, the film crossed the $700 million mark worldwide. That includes $202.6 million from China alone, so the film has a shot at crossing the $1 billion mark like its predecessor.
In second place,Incredibles 2has a big drop-off, but because it did so well in its opening weekend, that didn’t really matter. At $81.9 million, it was the largest second weekend of all time for an animated film, and one of the biggest second weekends of all-time for any movie. The film has now pulled in $350 million already and almost half-a-billion worldwide.
In other milestones,Ocean’s 8crossed the $100 million mark, which could put it well on its way to compete against the otherOcean’smovies. While it may not dethroneOcean’s Eleven, which earned $183 million, it’s got a solid shot to beat outOcean’s Thirteen, which took in $117 million during its run back in 2007.
Another milestone that’s flying under the radar isA Wrinkle in Timecrossing the $100 million mark. Although the film is now on DVD, it was able to become the first movie directed by an African-American woman to make more than $100 million thanks to playing with showings ofIncredibles 2at drive-ins. The film had made $98 million beforeIncredibles 2came along last weekend.
