"Sausage Party" still came in second to "Suicide Squad," which held on to the top spot again with $43.5 million in weekend two. The Warner Bros. and DC Comics film has grossed $222.6 million to date.
In third place, Disney's remake of "Pete's Dragon" stayed earthbound with only $21.5 million. The CG and live-action hybrid cost an estimated $65 million to produce.
Holdovers "Jason Bourne" and "Bad Moms" rounded out the top five with $13.8 million and $11.4 million, respectively.
