Hobbs & Shaw take No. 1 at the box office: Which movies made it to the top 10?
By Sandy C.
Which movie did you see in theaters this weekend? Hobbs & Shaw easily won the box office, but what else made it to the top 10? Let’s have a look!
The box office numbers are in thanks to Box Office Mojo, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw are celebrating a big win — $60.8 million big. If you want to get technical, this is the lowest opening for a Fast & Furious installment since the fourth film, but it’s an impressive figure for a spinoff. Even when you factor in the film’s budget (a reported $200 million) it’s a great sum when you consider international totals.
After you add in what Hobbs & Shaw gathered overseas, its worldwide total is $180 million. It’ll only be a few days before the movie surpasses its budget. Both critics and fans are calling the movie far-fetched, but a great ride, which helps promote the movie.
Settling for No. 2 is The Lion King, adding $38.2 million this weekend for a now grand total of $1.195 billion. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood comes in third with $20 million, while Spider-Man: Far From Home swings in at No. 4 with $7.7 million.
