Crazy Rich Asians is an end of summer bang and kicking off the fall movie season right with a third weekend at the top of the box office. The film has passed $110 million domestically after this weekend. It earned an estimated $22.2 million for the three days, a 10% drop compared to the previous week.

The Meg repeated again in third place, also for the third weekend. Again, Warner Bros. has the one-two punch between these two films and has shown a smart move having the films released at similar times for some counter programming. The film earned an estimated $10.5 million to bring its domestic total to over $120 million. It’ll earn an estimated $13 million for the four days. Internationally, the film brought in $17.7 million from 65 markets for an foreign box office total of $342 million and worldwide total of $463 million.

Internationally, the film added $89.1 million to bring that total to nearly $443 million and worldwide total of $647 million. It’ll easily become the highest grossing film of the franchise.
In fourth place was Operation Finale which brought in an estimated $6 million for the three days and expted to be $7.7 million for four days. It’ll have a six day total for around $9.5 million.
Rounding out the top five was Searching with an estimated $5.7 million for three days and around $7 million for the four days.
When it comes to comic adaptations…

The film is the top grossing film of the year so far but is second when it comes to domestic earnings. Black Panther still holds that crown and is one of a few films to have crossed $700 million domestically.
We’ll be back in an hour for a deeper dive into this year’s comic film adaptations.
