Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham are surely making a good impression in the new “Fast & Furious” spinoff, “Hobbs & Shaw.” The movie raked in almost $61-million domestically and $180-million globally for its debut.
Considering how highly anticipated the spinoff was, the film had a relatively modest opening despite earning the top spot. But on the bright side, it’s officially the “Fast & Furious” franchise’s third-biggest opening, plus its global take is enough to make up for the production budget.
That was enough to bump “The Lion King” to the second spot for its third weekend in theaters, making just over $38-million. “Once Upon A Time” still trails behind the CGI adaptation of the Disney classic, Quentin Tarantino’s latest earning $20-million for its second week.
Here’s this weekend’s top 10 movies:
- “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” – $60.8-million
- “The Lion King” – $38.2-million
- “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” – $20-million
- “Spider-Man: Far From Home” – $7.8-million
- “Toy Story 4” – $7.2-million
