Incredibles 2 ($1.2 Billion Worldwide Box Office)

Everyone’s favorite family of superheroes is back in “Incredibles 2” – but this time Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell) and Dash (voice of Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life. It’s a tough transistion for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again — which is easier said than done, even when they’re all Incredible.

Brad Bird is back in the director’s chair for the sequel, which is produced by John Walker and Nicole Grindle, while Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell and Huck Milner are all back voicing their members of the Parr family of superheroes. Similarly, Samuel L. Jackson is back voicing Frozone and Bird himself will voice superhero outfitter Edna Mode.

The voice cast will be bolstered with the additions of Bob Odenkirk and Catherine Keener in undisclosed roles.

The Pixar superhero movie "Incredibles 2" made 14 years of anticipation worth the wait for Disney, as the follow-up to 2004's "The Incredibles" smashed the record for highest animation debut of all time with an estimated $180 million in ticket sales for the U.S.and Canada, according to the measurement firm ComScore.

The film handily surpassed the previous record holder, Pixar’s "Finding Dory," which opened with $135 million in 2016. “Incredibles 2” also posted the No. 1 debut for a PG-rated film, another record previously held by "Finding Dory."

"Incredibles 2" opened above analysts' domestic predictions of $120 million to $140 million and also has amassed $51.5 million in international receipts. The film was a hit with audiences and critics, earning an A-plus rating on CinemaScore and a 94% "fresh" rating on review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. Of Pixar's 20 films, "Incredibles 2" is the seventh to earn an A-plus CinemaScore rating.

In second place, Warner Bros.' "Ocean's 8," now in its second weekend, added $19.5 million in ticket sales (a 53% drop), for a cumulative $79.2 million.

The studio also debuted "Tag" in third place. It earned $14.6 million, on par with analysts' predictions of $13 million to $15 million.

"Tag," released under Warner Bros.' New Line Cinema division, is an R-rated comedy about a group of friends who play an extreme version of the classic schoolyard game. The film received mixed reviews from audiences and critics, earning a B-plus on CinemaScore and 56% "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Featuring Jon Hamm and Jeremy Renner, the film cost an estimated $28 million to make.

In fourth place: Disney's "Solo: A Star Wars Story," now in its fourth weekend. It added $9 million in earnings — a moderate 42% drop despite losing more than 1,100 locations — for a to-date total of $192.8 million.

Rounding out the top five, Fox's "Deadpool 2," now in its fifth week, added $8.8 million for a cumulative $294.7 million.

A24's "Hereditary," the horror film starring Toni Collette that has sharply divided critics and moviegoers, was bumped from the top five to No. 6 in its second weekend. The low budget film, written and directed by Ari Aster, added $7 million in ticket sales (a 48% drop, respectable for the horror genre) to reach a cumulative $27.2 million.

Sony's "Superfly" remake opened at No. 7 with $6.3 million after debuting Wednesday for a cumulative $8.4 million.

A modern update to the 1972 blaxploitation film, "Superfly" cost an estimated $16 million to make but failed to meet analysts' predictions of $10 million to $12 million. The film earned a B-plus rating on CinemaScore and a 54% "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Vertical Entertainment premiered "Gotti" to disappointing results. The film, directed by Kevin Connolly and starring John Travolta as the mobster, gets a 0% "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes and earned just $1.7 million across 503 locations.

In limited release, Focus Features' breakout Mr. Rogers documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" earned $985,000 in 96 locations in its second weekend, for a total gross of $1.7 million.

Next week, Universal premieres the action movie "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom." The film has already posted a $111-million opening in China as well as $173.6 million in 51 territories for an international total of $370 million to date.

Leading the summer charge was Disney, which brought in $1.47 billion in domestic grosses from seven films. Incredibles 2 led the studio's summer slate with $602.5 million in domestic grosses, becoming the highest grossing animated domestic release of all-time. With $1.17 billion in global ticket sales, Incredibles 2 also sits as the second highest grossing animated worldwide release, trailing just Frozen's $1.276 billion in worldwide grosses. Infinity War's monster, $678.8 million domestic performance contributed $340.4 million to Disney's summer tally followed by Ant-Man and the Wasp and Solo: A Star Wars Story, both of which contributed over $213 million to the bottom line.
