Men In Black: Internationl

The Men in Black return with new faces but similar aliens to a first weekend gross of $28.5 million after fairly unfavourable reviews but fairly good word of mouth.

The film stars Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth back together again after Thor and Avengers: Endgame.

Director F. Gary Gray takes over from original director Barry Sonnenfield and does a good job of brining a new spin to the over 20 year old ideas of the original movie.

This is the lowest debut of the series to date which doesn't bode well for the future box office success of the film.

The Secret Life Of Pets 2

After making its debut at the top of the US box office last weekend the film falls to number 2 this week with a $23.8 million gross.

This pushes the films total US gross to $92 million after 2 weeks of release.
