Holding steady in second place is A Quiet Place Part II. The film, which stars Emily Blunt, has remained in the top two for five weeks straight since its release on May 28. Also displaying terrific holding power during the week, the sequel continued its box office stint to take in another $6.2 million this weekend. That pushes John Krasinski's film to a total box office gross of $136.4 million since opening and it continues to be the highest grossing film of 2021.
In third place, The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard added $4.9 million this weekend. After an opening weekend that overcame expectations at $11.4 million, the Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Salma Hayek-led film dropped down two spots as F9 raced into theaters. Losing showtimes and IMAX screens to the anticipated action blockbuster, The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard faced a sharp but expected drop down the list this weekend.
Falling one spot from last weekend, Sony's Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway continues to be the predominant family film in theaters, at least until The Boss Baby: Family Business opens next weekend. With a total gross of $28.8 million over three weeks, the animated sequel starring James Corden added another $4.8 million this weekend.
Rounding out the top five once again is Disney's Cruella. The film grossed an additional $3.7 million for a total of $71.3 million over five weeks. It also edged out Warner Bros. flicks The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and In the Heights. ~Cassandra Coleman
