That’s a dip for DreamWorks Animation whose other past features, including The Boss Baby and Trolls, managed openings closer to $50 million.
The other underwear-clad hero, Captain Underpants, made an underwhelming second place debut with just $23 million.
After nine weeks in the top ten (most movies average fewer than 6) The Boss Baby dropped out of the top ten, giving it the second longest top ten run of the year so far, just behind the Beauty and the Beast remake and its impressive ten week stretch (eleven if you count the full Memorial Day weekend holiday weekend).
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales followed up its disappointing (but not unexpected) $62 million start last weekend (the lowest of any Pirates sequel) by pushing past the $100 million mark this weekend.
