Steven Spielberg's "West End Story" did not perform well, grossing $10.5 million in its first weekend, slightly taking the top spot in the list, setting the director's weakest (large-scale) opening performance in North America since 2012's Lincoln.
The film was one of the best-reviewed films of the year: 93 percent freshness on Rotten Tomatoes and A in CinemaScore theater audience ratings — but still didn't attract enough viewers, even to the point of another musical, "In the Heights," which was released in June (streaming at the same time, still achieving a $11.5 million opening result). Next week, "Spider-Man: Homeless" will be released in theaters, which is undoubtedly more unfavorable to the film.
Second-place Disney's Full House of Magic was close behind with $9.4 million, and three weeks after its release, the film grossed $71.3 million in North America and $151.8 million worldwide.
Sony's "The Incredibles" ranked third with $7.1 million, grossing $112 million in North America and $164.7 million worldwide.
"Gucci Family" ranked fourth with $4.1 million, with a total of $41 million at the North American box office and $93 million at the global box office, exceeding the $75 million production cost.
Disney's Eternals ranked fifth with $3.1 million. In the six weeks of its release, it grossed $161.2 million in North America and $395.3 million worldwide.
