Coming in second over the weekend is Clint Eastwood’s The Mule at $17.2 million, which he stars in, produced and directed. Over half of The Mule’s audience has reportedly been over 50 years old, and the film’s budget reportedly sits at $50 million.
Coming in third and fourth are returning films, Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch ($11.6 million) and Ralph Breaks the Internet ($9.6 million). Mortal Engines came in at fifth place with a disappointing $7.5 million opening domestic weekend. While its global gross now sits at $42.2 million, Mortal Engine’s reported production budget of $100 million could be hard to recuperate.

Though an overall healthy weekend for the box office, this holiday timeframe has taken a 60 percent revenue dip compared to the same weekend last year. This is due to Star Wars: The Last Jedi launching at $200 million domestically. However, THR reports that even with this dip, overall revenue for 2018 is still up nine percent compared to 2017.
