‘Ocean’s 8’ sets new benchmark for franchise with record domestic opening

The Sandra Bullock-led Ocean’s 8 pulled off the biggest job of all – setting a new bar as the Gary Ross female-led film had the biggest opening of any of the Ocean’s films. The film topped the box office this weekend with $41.6 million over its Fri-Sun debut.

That’s both the biggest weekend gross ever for the Ocean’s franchise and (accounting for inflation) the fewest tickets sold on an opening weekend for an Ocean’s movie. The top 12 domestic weekend box office estimates, listed in descending order, per data collected as of Sunday, June 10, are below.

Ocean’s 8 – Warner Bros. – $41.5M
Solo: A Star Wars Story – Disney – $15.2M
Deadpool 2 – 20th Century Fox – $13.7M
Hereditary – A24 – $13.0M
Avengers: Infinity War – Disney – $6.8M
Adrift – STX Entertainment – $5.0M
Book Club – Paramount – $4.2M

Also, a small indie film, ‘Disney’s Avengers: Infinity War crossed the $2 billion mark worldwide.”
