Box Office: ‘Jungle Book’ Dominating with $38 Million Weekend

Should “Jungle Book” reach $38 million this weekend, it will displace “Shrek 2” for the eighth-best third weekend total at the U.S. box office.

Showing serious staying power, Disney’s “The Jungle Book” is dominating domestic moviegoing this weekend with an estimated $38 million — the eighth-best third weekend of all time.

Expectations have been muted for Gramercy’s launch of “Ratchet & Clank,” based on the 14-year-old video game franchise, that’s opening at 2,891 locations.
