Box Office Report: CRAZY RICH ASIANS Brings In $25 Million, ANT-MAN AND THE WASP Wins International Box Office

Crazy Rich Asians brings in $25 million in its second weekend, almost as much as it earned opening weekend. Jon M. Chu's romantic comedy's second weekend represents one of the best holds in modern history for a wide release summer title.

However, The Happytime Murders only opened to $10 million domestically from 3,526 theaters, which is a career low opening for Melissa McCarthy.

New family adventure A.X.L. opened to even less, with only $2.9 million.

The Meg came in with $13 million domestically in its third weekend. The film has brought in $400 million, but with a cost of $150 million to produce, it still has a ways to go.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout made $8 million over the weekend while Disney'sChristopher Robin came in at $6.3 million.

Papillon, Michael Noer's remake, debuted with $1.2 million in 544 theaters.

Christopher Nolan's "unrestored" 70mm version of 2001: A Space Odyssey grossed $800,000 as it began its one-week run in four IMAX theaters, while 300 theaters are showing a 4K restoration of the film.

Overseas, Ant-Man and the Wasp won the box office with $71.2 million. Its premiere in China made $68 million, which makes the film the fourth-best showing of any title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
