Los Angeles”•”Toy Story 4” once again outplayed the competition at the North American box office, raking in $59.7 million in its second weekend in theaters, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations said Monday.
The fourth installment in the wildly popular Disney/Pixar series has earned $238.7 million so far in the United States and Canada, alongside another $259 million abroad.
The film again features the unmistakable voices of Tom Hanks as Woody, the ever-eager but empty-holstered cowboy doll, and Tim Allen as the impulsive Buzz Lightyear (“To infinity, and beyond!”).
Far back in second place was “Annabelle Comes Home,” the latest in a series of horror films featuring the creepy doll, which opened at $20.3 million.
In third place was another debut flick, “Yesterday,” a romantic comedy based on a fanciful idea: what if the Beatles never existed?
A mysterious global blackout leads the world to forget the Fab Four, except for one struggling singer-songwriter who becomes an overnight sensation by performing the iconic tunes.
“Yesterday,” directed by Danny Boyle (“Trainspotting,” “Slumdog Millionaire”), earned $17 million.
Fourth place went to Disney’s live-action remake of “Aladdin,” at $10.1 million.
And fifth spot went to Universal’s animated “The Secret Life of Pets 2,” at $7.3 million.
A re-release of the blockbuster superhero film “Avengers: Endgame” earned $6.1 million for seventh place, but its overall global box office take of $2.762 billion is still $26 million shy of the $2.788 billion earned by “Avatar.”
Rounding out the weekend’s top 10 were:
“Men In Black: International” ($6.9 million)
“Avengers: Endgame” ($6.1 million)
“Child’s Play” ($4.4 million)
“Rocketman” ($3.9 million)
“John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” ($3.2 million)
