As expected, Finding Dory made a pretty big splash over the weekend as it bested Shrek the Third to break the opening weekend record for animated features. The Finding Nemo sequel earned an estimated $136.1 million, which is also obviously the best debut for ever a Pixar movie (Toy Story 3 made $110 million back in 2010). In second place, Central Intelligence earned a solid $34 million, which is about on par with Kevin Hart’s last two movies, Get Hard and Ride Along 2. Elsewhere The Conjuring 2 fell to third place with $15.6 million, while Now You See Me 2 and Warcraft rounded out the top 5. Warcraft dropped a staggering 73%, which is one of the biggest second weekend drops ever. It should be interesting to see what happens next weekend when Fox unleashes Independence Day: Resurgence.

1. Finding Dory — $136.2M
2. Central Intelligence — $34.5M
3. The Conjuring 2 — $15.6M
4. Now You See Me 2 — $9.7M
5. Warcraft — $6.5M
6. X-Men: Apocalypse — $5.2M
7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows — $5.2M
8. Me Before You — $4.2M
9. Alice Through the Looking Glass — $3.6M
10. Captain America: Civil War — $2.3M

    The target group for Dory and ID42 are different, and so it could create quite full movie theater, if ID42 could get off the ground with a good first salvo weekend, and most likley with a lot help from the non us marktes.
