In what is shaping out to be a quiet weekend at the box office, Universal’s release of Dreamworks’ The Bad Guys retained its hold on the top place. After a $3.7 million Friday, the family-friendly heist picture is anticipated to earn $14.4 million in weekend two after a $24 million start.
The domestic tally for the picture is a little over $42 million. The picture is approaching the $100 million mark internationally, but with a rumored budget of roughly $70 million—which is on the low end for a Dreamworks production—it still has a ways to go. The Bad Guys is directed by Pierre Perifel and stars Sam Rockwell, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, Marc Maron, and Awkwafina as voice actors.

With $2.5 million on its fourth Friday, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 remained in second place. The film had a record-breaking opening four weeks ago and is still a favorite with families. Sonic the Hedgehog 2‘s domestic total is now approaching $160 million, with a projected $9.7 million this weekend.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, a Warner Bros. film, isn’t doing so well, with $7.5 million expected in its third weekend. This is a 46 percent drop from weekend to weekend for the Harry Potter spinoff, which will barely break $100 million in the United States. It has a current value of a little about $80 million. With a rumored $200 million budget and diminishing audience interest, W.B. will have to reconsider the franchise’s future, which was meant to feature five sequels originally.
