Landing in fourth place was the basketball comedy Uncle Drew, which features NBA All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Shaquille O’Neal. The film, distributed by Sony Pictures, cost a reported $35 to $40 million to produce. The Sicario sequel starring Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro earned $19 million to take third place.
North American audiences came out in larger than expected numbers for both the action thriller Sicario: Day of the Soldado and Uncle Drew. Incredibles 2, now in its third weekend in theatres, took second place with $45.5 million, bringing its domestic total to $439.7 million. The dinosaurs didn’t gobble up all the attention this weekend, however. While its second weekend drop is about 10 per cent steeper than that of the first film, worldwide, the film has grossed $932.4 million to date and is barrelling toward the $1 billion mark. Studios on Sunday estimate that the blockbuster sequel to Jurassic World earned an additional $60 million in its second weekend in North American theatres, bringing its domestic total to $264.8 million. LOS ANGELES - The Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom dinosaurs ruled the box office for a second weekend in a row, but also left a little room for more modest newcomers like Sicario: Day of the Soldado and the basketball comedy Uncle Drew to over-perform in the crowded marketplace.
