And elsewhere in the world, it was a similar story. While the movie, which picks up the story the moment the 2004 original ends, hasn't opened in all of its international markets yet, it still earned $51.5 million for a $231.5 million global launch. Records were predictably shattered, with the new movie outselling the previously top animated opening, Finding Dory. We doubt Disney and Pixar are too upset.
Ocean's 8 was knocked down to second place on $19.5 million, while the second new arrival of the week, comedy pic Tag couldn't quite reach the heights of the animated hit. The movie took in $14.6 million for third. In fourth, Solo: A Star Wars Story earned $9 million, with Deadpool 2 adding $8.8 million to round out the top five.
In sixth, chiller Hereditary added a few screens and earned $7 million, ahead of the week's third new entry, Superfly, which didn't live up to its title. It made $6.3 million.
Avengers: Infinity War, finally feeling the pressure of more superhero competition, slipped to eighth on $5.2 million, but has already passed $2 billion worldwide. Adrift sank to ninth with $2.1 million, while Book Club dropped to 10th and $1.8 million.
