After expanding to theaters across the country this past Friday, Sam Mendes' WWI drama finally took down reigning champ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, earning $36.5 million for a domestic total of $39.2 million. Filmed to look like one continuous shot, the immersive film follows two young soldiers given a crucial but seemingly impossible mission.
After three weekends at the top, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker dropped a spot to second place. The film broke records during its reign and now sits at a domestic total of $478.2 million and $989.6 million worldwide. The film pulled in an additional $15.1 million in its fourth weekend at the box office.
Jumanji: The Next Level dropped a spot to third place in its fifth week at the box office. Although the sequel topped Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle's opening weekend, it's still looking to beat the previous film's total domestic take of $404.5 million. This weekend Jumanji: The Next Level brought in an additional $14 million, pushing its domestic total to $257.1 million.
Like a Boss debuted in fourth place this weekend. Starring Tiffany Haddish and Rose Byrne as best friends and owners of a cosmetics company who take on an industry titan (Salma Hayek), the raunchy comedy earned $10 million in its first weekend in theaters.
Rounding out the top five was another new wide release - Just Mercy, based on a true story and starring Michael B. Jordan as a young Civil Rights lawyer who takes on the case of a black man (Jamie Foxx) on death row for killing a young white woman in Alabama. It also earned $10 million in its first weekend in wide release. ~Emily Chavez
