Quentin Tarantino has spent yet another weekend contentedly nipping at someone else’s heels.
While his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood couldn’t catch The Lion King ($75.5 million) for the top spot at the box office, it did end up giving the director his biggest opening yet, the film’s $40.4 million topping Inglourious Basterds’ $38 million debut.
That dropped Spider-Man: Far from Home to third place ($12.2 million), knocked Toy Story 4 to fourth ($9.9 million), and meant Crawl rounded out the top five with $4 million.
But it would seem The Lion King’s reign is soon to end: this weekend, Hobbs & Shaw combines the mass of Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham into something horrifically huge.
