The following weekend, Crazy Rich Asians hit theaters, just edging out The Meg in the numbers.
In previous weeks, both The Meg and Crazy Rich Asians have been big box office winners as well, with one Warner Bros. movie taking over for another in that first place slot as the weeks wear on and the season begins to change.
For three weeks, Crazy Rich Asians led the pack and then this weekend The Nun came out to higher numbers than expected, soundly whupping the book adaptations that came before it.
The Meg won its opening weekend back in August, also blowing estimations out of the water.
