Box Office: “Pets” More Popular Than Ever with $103 Mil, “Mike and Dave” Can’t Get Dates

Box office conundrum over the weekend. “The Secret Life of Pets” scored over $103 million, $10 million more than estimates. HUGE hit for Universal. Animation box office record for original film.

Live action took many hits. “Mike and Dave” couldn’t scare up dates after Friday night. Their total is $16 million. That’s an airplane comedy. Zac Efron needed a more famous “brother,” I guess.

“Independence Day: Resurgence” still not near $100 mil– just $91 mil.
