The battle between biceps and boogeymen has been decided.Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shawmuscled its way to the top of the box office in its second weekend, notching another $25.4 million and bringing its domestic total to $108.5 million. This, of course, means that theDwayne JohnsonandJason Statham-starring action flick fought off five newcomers, including directorAndré Øvredal’sScary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
But fear not,Scary Storiesfans. The film, which counts monster maestro Guillermo del Toro as an executive producer, still nabbed a solid $20.8 million in its debut, outperforming expectations and landing in second place. That’s a sight better than the weekend’s other kid-focused adventure,Dora and the Lost City of Gold, which swiped $17 million in its first weekend.
Meanwhile, crime thrillerThe Kitchen, which is getting absolutely mobbed by critics—includingCollider’s own Perri Nemiroff—is a bit of a dud at a $5.5 million debut, the lowest opening for bothMelissa McCarthyandTiffany Haddish.The Kitchenlanded one spot below another newcomer, the dog-focusedThe Art of Racing in the Rainfrom directorSimon Curtis, which fetched $8.1 million in its debut weekend.
Some unsurprising news for anyone with a Twitter:Bring the Soul: The Movie, a live show documentary following the South Korean boy band BTS, actually danced its way into the top ten with $2.3 million. Bad news forBrian Banks, as the inspirational true-story sports film debuted in 12th place with just $2.1 million.
