Setting in for Dex
'Good Boys'
The R-rated comedy, left for dead by some Hollywood studios, again reached No.1 at the box office over the weekend thanks to the raunchy coming-of-age tale "Good Boys," about a trio of 12-year-olds on a crude misadventure.
"Good Boys" surpassed expectations to debut with $21 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, dethroning the "Fast & Furious" spinoff "Hobbs & Shaw," which slid to second with $14.1 million in its third weekend. Not since Melissa McCarthy's "The Boss" came in No. 1 all the way back in April 2016 has an R-rated comedy topped the North American box office.
Sony's "The Angry Birds Movie 2," on a budget of $65 million, opened with a paltry $10.5 million domestically, though it added $19.4 million internationally. Hoping to snarl kids before school starts, Sony released the film on Tuesday. But it didn't come close to the $38.2 million domestic debut of the first installment in 2016 despite notably better reviews (76% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes).
Sony's "Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood," however, grossed $53.7 million overseas after expanding to 46 markets - the largest foreign launch for any Quentin Tarantino film, and the best worldwide haul for any film this weekend.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included.
1. "Good Boys," $21 million ($2.1 million international).
2. "Hobbs & Shaw," $14.1 million ($45.7 million international).
3. "The Lion King," $11.9 million ($33.8 million international).
4. "The Angry Birds Movie 2," $10.5 million ($19.4 million international).
5. "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark," $10.1 million ($4.4 million international)
.
6. "47 Meters Down: Uncaged," $9 million.
7. "Dora and the Lost City of Gold," $8.5 million ($6.6 million international).
8. "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," $7.6 million ($53.7 million international).
9. "Blinded by the Light," $4.5 million.
10. "Art of Racing in the Rain," $4.4 million.
