It’s not too surprising, but F1: The Movie was the weekend box office champ. The film grossed $55.6 million domestically and $88.4 million at the international box office for a worldwide gross of $144 million. With a budget somewhere around $200 or $300 million (there’s different reports), the film has quite a ways to go to go to make its money bank and really be a champ. But, it shows audiences are willing to show up for movies that aren’t sequels or remakes (though we can debate how original it is due to its branding).

How to Train Your Dragon dropped to second place after holding on to first since its release. The movie grossed $19.4 million domestically to lift that to $200.1 million. Over the week, it grossed $56.7 million internationally where it has now totaled $254.4 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $454.4 million nearly what the original animated movie grossed in 2010 (not adjusted for inflation).

Elio remained in third place grossing $10.7 million to bring that to $42.2 million. That’s a 48.7% drop from the previous week. Internationally didn’t do much better with $16.1 million over the week to bring that to $30.1 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $72.3 million and its a question if it’ll cross the $100 million mark. This is one that’ll likely do far better once it heads to streaming.

M3GAN 2.0 debuted in fourth with $10.2 million domestically and just under $7 million internationally for a worldwide gross of $17.2 million The original film debuted with $30.4 million and went on to gross $95.2 million domestically and $180.1 million worldwide. It’s a massive tumble for the franchise, especially one whose original film was well received.

28 Years Later dropped to fifth from second and grossed $9.7 million domestically to bring that to $50.4 million. It dropped 67.7% from the previous week. Internationally, the film grossed $22.7 million over the week to bring the film to $103.1 million worldwide after two weeks.

Between the budget and marketing, the film needs around $425 million to break even.
