"Transformers: The Last Knight" had no trouble securing the top spot at the box-office over the weekend, but its glory has faded somewhat. Meanwhile "Cars 3" and "Wonder Woman" continue to perform well in a neck and neck race.
Find out more about the weekend box office after the jump.
Paramount's "Transformers: The Last Knight" scored $45.3 million over the weekend, enough to top the charts, but the weakest opening of all the films in the franchise. "The Last Knight" opened in theaters on Wednesday, and grossed a total of $69 million in five days. "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" is the only other film in this series to open on a Wednesday, but that one grossed $162.6 million over the five-day time frame, of which $97.8 million over the three-day weekend. It's easy to see how this fifth installment is performing poorly. It also doesn't help that the film cost $217 million to produce (without marketing costs).
Still, "The Last Knight" is expected to perform much better overseas, where it has already picked up $196.2 million from 41 markets, with China registering the biggest opening for this franchise. As for domestic audiences, the "B+" grade on CinemaScore further cements the franchise's downfall, which hasn't scored a "B" since 2009's "Revenge of the Fallen". Critics also offered universally negative reviews (15% on Rotten Tomatoes and 27 on Metacritic).
In second and third place, "Cars 3" and "Wonder Women" are apparently tied with $25.1 million, at least until the actuals come in. Disney and Pixar's sequel is very close to reaching $100 million after 10 days, and Warner Bros' DC Comics adaptation has surpassed the $300 million milestone and the entire domestic run of "Man of Steel". All it needs is one more week to outgross "Suicide Squad" and "Batman v Superman". It's still behind "The Dark Knight" ($534.8) and "The Dark Knight Rises" ($448.1)
The shark thriller "47 Meters Down" is holding well at #4, dropping only 33% and grossing $7.4 million for a total of $24.2 million. Not bad at all, considering it only cost $5 million to make and was initially intended for home video only.
The Top 5 is rounded up by the Tupac Shakur biopic "All Eyez on Me", which took a steep tumble, dropping almost 78% after a better-than-expected opening. The film grossed $5.8 million and its domestic gross now stands at $38.6 million versus a $40 million budget.
