Surpassing expectations, Universal and Amblin Entertainment's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom got off to a strong start. With an estimated $150 million for Fallen Kingdom, this is only the second time ever two different films have brought in over $100 million over two consecutive weekends.

The first time was in 2007 when Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End opened with $114.7 million following Shrek the Third's $121.6 million opening the weekend prior. Disney and Pixar's Incredibles 2 followed up its monster debut weekend last week with a second place finish this weekend as its domestic cume has already topped $350 million in just ten days.







With an estimated $150 million, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom's opening is down 28% compared to the $208.8 million debut for its 2015 predecessor. However, given the fact the film was competing with Incredibles 2 for a lot of the same audience, this is a solid start, especially when coupled with an "A-" CinemaScore, just a step down from the last film's "A".

Fallen Kingdom is in its third weekend in international release and this weekend delivered an estimated $106.7 million from 68 total markets for an overseas total of $561.5 million.







Disney and Pixar's Incredibles 2 landed in second place over its sophomore frame, dropping 55.7% with an estimated $81 million. The film's domestic cume now stands at $350 million after ten days in release, making it one of the top ten animated films of all-time, already surpassing the $341.2 million run for Zootopia and just shy of Inside Out's $356.4 million run in 2015. It is also now the fourth largest Pixar release ever, topping Finding Nemo's $339.7 million run in 2003.

Internationally, Incredibles 2 brought in an estimated $56.8 million over the weekend from approximately 44% of the overall international market for an overseas cume just shy of $135 million.







Warner Bros.'s heist flick Ocean's 8 had a fantastic hold this weekend, dropping just 38.6% for an estimated $11.65 million three-day, pushing the film's cume over $100 million as it begins its third week in release.

Internationally, the film brought in an estimated $26.9 million for the weekend for an overseas cume totaling $70.6 million for a global tally reaching $171 million.







WB also landed in fourth place with their R-rated comedy Tag bringing in an estimated $8.2 million.

The 45% second weekend drop helps push the domestic cume over $30 million for the $28 million production.







Rounding out the top five is Fox's Deadpool 2, which finished with an estimated $5.25 million as it begins its sixth week in release. The film's domestic cume has now topped $300 million.

Deadpool 2 also reached a milestone internationally, topping $400 million thanks to an additional $5.3 million this weekend bringing the film's worldwide cume to $707.1 million.







Just outside the top five, in sixth place, is Disney and Lucasfilms's Solo: A Star Wars Story with an estimated $4.5 million and a domestic cume that has now reached $202.2 million.

Internationally the film added $2.6 million this weekend for an international total that has now topped $150 million and a global tally totaling $353.5 million.







Elsewhere in the top ten, Focus Features expanded the release of their Mister Rogers documentary Won't You be My Neighbor? into 348 locations (+252) where it brought in an estimated $1.875 million for a domestic cume that now tops $4 million as it begins its third week in release.

Focus plans on expanding into over 500 theaters next weekend leading into the July 4th holiday.







In limited release IFC's The Catcher was a Spy debuted in 49 theaters with an estimated $122,494 ($2,500 PTA); China Lion's Lobster Cop brought in an estimated $35,000 from 12 locations ($2,917 PTA); Sony Classics's Boundaries brought in an estimated $30,395 from five theaters ($6,079 PTA); Oscilloscope's The King opened with an estimated $29,050 from two theaters ($14,525 PTA); Magnolia's Damsel launched in three theaters with an estimated $21,000 ($7,000 PTA); Grasshopper's Araby debuted with $10,179 from one theater; and Cohen Media released Spiral in two locations for an estimated $3,682.

Jurassic World and Incredibles Sequels Remain on Top as Sicario 2 & Uncle Drew Debut
by Brad Brevet
July 1, 2018


Universal's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Disney's Incredibles 2 remain the weekend's top two films, generating over $100 million combined.

At the same time, Sicario: Day of the Soldado and Uncle Drew served as respectable counter-programming options to the summer blockbuster maelstrom, finishing in third and fourth position respectively.

On top of that, Fox International's release of Sanju delivered a top ten finish despite playing in just 356 locations.







At number one for a second weekend in a row is Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which dropped an expected 59.5%, pulling in an estimated $60 million. The film's domestic cume is now just shy of $265 million after ten days of release.

Internationally, Fallen Kingdom took in an estimated $56.1 million from 68 markets for an overseas total that currently totals $667.6 million for a worldwide cume that stands at $932.4 million, well on its way to topping $1 billion worldwide over the coming week.







Disney and Pixar's Incredibles 2 finished in second place, bringing in an estimated $45.5 million as it begins its third week in release. The film's domestic cume currently stands at $439.7 million, making it the second highest grossing Pixar film of all-time and third largest animated title ever.

Incredibles 2 also continued its strong performance internationally where it has now topped $200 million for a global tally totaling $646.8 million.







Sony's release of Sicario: Day of the Soldado outperformed expectations, bringing in an estimated $19 million opening from 3,055 locations. The film received a "B" CinemaScore.

This is a strong start for the $35 million production, debuting with $7 million more than the first film brought in over its wide release, ultimately playing for 17 weeks, finishing with an impressive $46.8 million domestic run. While the sequel won't likely see such a lengthy run, with a start like this it would seem safe to expect Day of the Soldado to finish somewhere over $50 million.

Internationally, Sicario: Day of the Soldado brought in an estimated $8.4 million from 55 markets.







Finishing in fourth is Lionsgate's comedy Uncle Drew with an estimated $15.5 million from 2,742 locations. It received an "A" CinemaScore from opening day audiences.

Looking ahead, an overall domestic performance around $35 million seems a safe bet. Not bad for a film spawned from a series of Pepsi commercials.







Rounding out the top five is Warner Bros.'s Ocean's 8, which had another strong weekend, dropping just 30% for an estimated $8 million three-day and a domestic cume that is now just shy of $115 million.

Internationally the film generated an estimated $13.8 million this weekend for an overseas cume that is now $95 million for a global total that now stands at $209.7 million.







Elsewhere, Fox International's Sanju debuted with an estimated $2.55 million from just 356 locations, finishing in ninth place.

The pic also finished #1 in India with an estimated $21.6 million, which ranks as the second largest Fox opening in the market ever.







Rounding out the top ten for a second weekend in a row is Focus's documentary Won't You be My Neighbor?, which expanded into 654 theaters (+306) this weekend and brought in an estimated $2.29 million.

The film's domestic cume now stands at $7.5 million.







In limited release Neon's Three Identical Strangers brought in an estimated $163,023 from five theaters for a chart topping $32,605 per theater average; Bleecker Street's Leave No Trace opened in nine locations with an estimated $216,161 ($24,018 PTA); Kino Lorber opened Custody in one theater with an estimated $5,337; FilmRise's Dark River brought in $5,100 from two locations; and Parade Deck's GameChangers opened with an estimated $3,142 from one theater.
