Never a boring moment at the box office, sci-fi film Independence Day: Resurgence rocketed into second with some US$41.6 million in sales.
The long awaited sequel to the 2003 hit has already managed nearly 400 million worldwide, including a massive 73.2 million in America at the weekend and nearly 300 million overall in that single country.
The number 1 movie at the box office this weekend, for the second week in a row, was “Finding Dory”.
Matthew McConaughey’s new Civil War movie opened up in fifth place $7.77M.
“The Conjuring 2”, which stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as a paranormal-investigating couple, earned $7.7 million in its third week. “There was good news for one of the newcomers as Sony’s “The Shallows” benefited from great reviews and social media buzz to creep up silently like a shark and surprised everyone with its performance”.

The big opening next weekend is another redo of an old film topic, “The Legend of Tarzan”. In the meantime, the worldwide haul for Central Intelligence does seem likely to be profitable, as the well-regarded comedy brought in an estimated $18.4 million for its second week.
