Box Office: ‘Sicario 2,’ ‘Uncle Drew’ Overperform as ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ Repeats No. 1
Though new entries “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” and “Uncle Drew” scored higher debuts than expected, “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” still reigns supreme at the domestic box office.
“Fallen Kingdom” picked up $60 million from 4,485 locations in its second outing, bringing its domestic tally to $264.8 million. Even with a 59% drop, the dinosaur tentpole has nothing to fear. To date, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard-led tentpole has pocketed $932 million globally and is well on its way to crossing $1 billion. Overseas, the Universal and Amblin Entertainment blockbuster pulled in $56.1 million this weekend.
“Sicario: Day of the Soldado” bowed with $17.8 million in 3,055 locations, while fellow newcomer “Uncle Drew” racked up $15.1 million from 2,742 theaters. Meanwhile, the third outing of “Incredibles 2” landed at No. 2 with $44.6 million from 4,410 locations. That brings the Disney-Pixar sequel’s domestic tally up to $438.8 million in three weeks.
“Ocean’s 8” continues to stay in the top five, stealing another $8 million from 2,345 theaters this weekend. In four weeks, the Warner Bros. heist film has amassed $114 million at the domestic box office.
Earlier in the week, “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” and “Uncle Drew” were targeting openings between $10 million and $13 million. The follow-up to 2015’s “Sicario” scored a better debut than its predecessor, which opened with $12 million. The original film — which received critical acclaim (and three Oscar nods) — picked up $84 million globally during its theatrical run.
