“Dunkirk<\/a>” and “Girls Trip” held well their second weekends, taking first and third place in the top 10, but the full list totaled $138 million \u2014 down 29 percent from the same weekend last year. And while a second weekend at #1 is great news for Christopher Nolan’s war film, at $28 million it’s the lowest #1 of the summer \u2014 and below any #1 for last summer as well.<\/p>\n

“The Emoji Movie<\/a>”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The top spot was there for the taking for “The Emoji Movie,” Sony Animation’s latest offering (at $50 million in budget, economical). But with audiences reacting like critics (its 10 Metacritic score near record bad), the attempt to bring phone emojis to life did have one rare achievement for a new animated film: It fell Saturday from Friday, down 14 percent.<\/p>\n

\"Atomic<\/p>\n

“Atomic Blonde<\/a>”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Had “Atomic Blonde” performed somewhat better than half as well as the similar female action hero “Lucy” on exactly the same date in 2014, it also could have taken #1. But it fell short at $18.5 million and only #4. At $30 million and potential worldwide interest, it could be OK \u2014 but not good enough to help rescue wilting results at U.S. theaters.<\/p>\n

“Dunkirk” did the minimum it needed to stay on track for at least a $175 million domestic total. Worldwide, it is at $234 million with some big territories waiting to open and some stronger holds elsewhere. Still, among Nolan’s films and also compared to other war films, the 44 percent drop is not stellar, even if it is better than most second weeks for top openers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Girls Trip”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It also pales when compared to “Girls Trip.” Its 36 percent fall is better than “Bad Moms” last year in its second weekend (and $6 million higher in gross). Earning $100 million now seems certain, with a real chance of topping the $113 million “Moms” surprised with last year. “Trip” cost $19 million to make.<\/p>\n

“Baby Driver” (Sony) is also holding very well, now at $92 million and also guaranteed a $100 million total. And “Wonder Woman” (Warner Bros.) is down a tiny 23 percent to stay in the Top 10. It should hit $400 million by next weekend or right after.<\/p>\n
