‘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.
