Top 10 movies of the weekend: Hobbs and Shaw aren’t afraid of Scary Stories
By Sandy C.
A new set of movies premiered over the weekend, but Hobbs & Shaw aren’t afraid of a few Scary Stories. Here are the top ten movies at the box office right now!
Box Office Mojo has released the weekend numbers to reflect the top ten movies of the weekend. What did you watch in theaters? Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, The Art of Racing in the Rain, The Kitchen, Dora And the Lost City of Gold, and Bring the Soul: The Movie, all entered the box office, but Hobbs & Shaw paid no mind to the added noise.
Despite all the brand-new additions at the box office, the top 10 are rather quiet. August is, after all, one of the slowest months for movies. Needless to say, because of this, Hobbs & Shaw‘s win isn’t necessarily anything that’s record-breaking, it’s just the most popular with the biggest stars attached to it.
Hobbs & Shaw adds $25.4 million, now with a worldwide total of $332.6 million. It has crossed its reported $200 million budget. From the franchise, it’ll likely break in at No. 5, but won’t land any higher than that, placing it behind, Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, The Fate of the Furious, and No.1 Furious 7.
