“Independence Day: Resurgence” was no match for “Finding Dory,” which earned a second straight weekend box office victory in the US.
The “Finding Nemo” sequel will earn approximately $73.2 million in its second weekend. Down only 46% from last week’s haul, the tally positions “Finding Dory” at a comfortable #1 on the weekend box office chart.
“Resurgence” debuts at #2; it earned an underwhelming $41.6 million.
“Central Intelligence,” which debuted at #2 last week, is #3 this week. It earned $18.4 million in its second weekend, which marks a modest 48% decline from last week’s debut sum.
New release “The Shallows” debuts at #4 with $16.7 million. Fellow newcomer “Free State of Jones” starts at #5 with $7.8 million, narrowly besting “The Conjuring 2” (#6, $7.7 million).
