The Denzel Washington-led sequel earned $35.8 million, which was enough to take the number one spot, but Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again was a very close second, taking in $34.3 million for the weekend’s second spot.
The Marvel Cinematic sequel was able to pull in an additional $16.1 million this weekend, bringing its worldwide total to $353.5 million.
The first Mamma Mia! hit theaters over a decade ago with a $27 million opening, which later led to a worldwide gross of $615 million.
Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again was able to bring in more money overseas than it did in North America.
