It did bring in an additional $15.5 million globally, for a total take of $42 million on a $30 million budget. The film received a B Cinemascore, just under its predecssor&#8217;s B+.<\/p>\n<p>The only other new wide release of the weekend was Aziz Ansari&#8217;s <b>Good Fortune<\/b>, which collected $6.2 million for third place. The film is well-reviewed, and picked up a B Cinemascore, but is not turning out much of an audience.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tron: Ares<\/b> came in second place with $11.1 million, falling 66% from opening weekend. Although it has made $54.6 million domestically and $103 million worldwide in two weekends, it cost $180 just to produce the film, nevermind what was spent on marketing. <\/p>\n<p><b>One Battle After Another<\/b> and <b>Roofman<\/b> were virtually tied for 4th place, with <b>OBAA<\/b> bringing in $3.75 million to <b>Roofman<\/b>&#8216;s $3.7 million. <b>OBAA<\/b> has brought in about $162 million globally, while <b>Roofman<\/b> has brought in $16 million worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><b>After the Hunt<\/b> flopped in its first weekend of expanded release, only bringing in $1.56 million for $1.77 million total box office.
