‘Wonder Woman’ still slaying

-

Tom Cruise was no match for Wonder Woman.

Warner Bros.' Wonder Woman wrapped up Cruise's The Mummy (in photo) at the weekend box office, pulling in an estimated $57.2 million in North American theaters. Universal's The

Mummy sold a relatively feeble $32.2 million in tickets in its debut weekend.

The poor opening for The Mummy, which cost an estimated $125 million to produce, meant a weak start for Universal's Dark Universe. It is intended to launch a new connected franchise that resurrects many of the famous monster characters: Frankenste­in, Dracula and The Invisible Man from the studio's vaults.

Here are the top 10 films in the US weekend box office. 1. Wonder Woman, $57.2 million ($58.1 million internatio­nal).

2. The Mummy, $32.2 million ($141.8 million internatio­nal). 3. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, $12.3 million ($1.7 million internatio­nal). 4. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, $10.7 million ($34.8 million internatio­nal). 5. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, $6.2 million ($2.2 million internatio­nal). 6. It Comes at Night, $6 million. 7. Baywatch, $4.6 million ($10.7 million internatio­nal). 8. Megan Leavey, $3.8 million. 9. Alien: Covenant, $1.8 million ($1.6 million internatio­nal). 10. Everything, Everything, $1.6 million.
