The Emoji Movie has failed to bag the number one spot Stateside. The animated movie, which received poor reviews from critics, pretty much across the board, entered the U.S. box-office chart at the number two spot, beaten by Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, which sailed out on its second week at multiplexes.
Dunkirk added an additional $28.1 million to its haul, which now stands at $102 million domestically. It has also now taken $234 million across the world. The Emoji Movie took just $25.6 million in its opening three days (estimated). It opens in the U.K. this coming weekend.
Girls Trip, also on its second week out there, dropped one space to number three with another $20 million in U.S. box-office receipts.
Rounding out the top five was Atomic Blonde, this week’s other new entry, which took $18.5 million in its opening weekend, and then Spider-Man: Homecoming, which made an additional $13.5 in green. Its total U.S. take now sits at an estimated $278 million.
It was also bad news for Luc Besson’s Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. The big-budget sci-fi movie dropped a further three spots to number 8. It has only managed to make a touch over $30 million from a reported $175 million budget. The film also opens in the U.K. on Friday.
