Box Office Top 20: 'Fast 8' races to No. 1 again
LOS ANGELES (AP) - "The Fate of the Furious" topped the box office for the second week in a row with $38.4 million, bringing the total North American take for the film to $163.3 million. With international grosses, the film is expected to cross $1 billion this week.
Holdovers crushed a slew of underwhelming newcomers, including Disney Nature's "Born in China," which opened in sixth place with $4.8 million; the steamy thriller "Unforgettable" that debuted in seventh with $4.8 million; and the costly historical epic "The Promise," which launched in ninth place with only $4.1 million.
The top films looked much the same as the past few weeks, with "The Boss Baby" in second with $12.7 million and "Beauty and the Beast" in third with $9.7 million.
