Dwayne Johnson is one of the busiest stars in Hollywood, and back in December, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle became the most successful movie of his career. But this doesn`t mean that everything he puts his name to is a guaranteed hit, as the disappointing weekend results for his latest film, the action thriller Skyscraper, have shown.Skyscraper made an estimated $25.4 million in its first three days, and entered the chart in third place. While this is better than the $22 million debut of Johnson`s 2017 flop Baywatch, it is below the studio`s $30 million prediction, and well under Jumanji`s $36.1 opening. The biggest movie this weekend was the animated movie Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, which made an impressive $44.1 million, while Marvel`s Ant-Man and the Wasp slipped into second place, with an estimated $28.8 million take.The week`s other new item into the Box Office Top 10 was the sci-fi comedy Sorry to Bother You, which rose from No.16 after expanding the number of theaters it is playing in. Pixar`s Incredibles 2 continued to do strong business in its fifth week, and is now the most successful animated movie of all time in US. It has made $535.8 million to date, soaring past Finding Dory`s $486.3 million. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom dropped to No.5 from No.2, while horror sequel The First Purge and the thriller Sicario: The Day of Soldado continued to do well amongst more adult audiences. Finally the comedy heist reboot Ocean`s 8 clings on at No.10, and has to date made an impressive $132 million from a more modest budget than many of its big summer franchise rivals.You can see the full Top 10 list for the July 13-15 US box office below, as compiled by Box Office Mojo.US/Canada Box Office For July 13-15:Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation - $44.1 millionAnt-Man and the Wasp - $28.8 millionSkyscraper - $25.4 millionIncredibles 2 - $16.2 millionJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - $15.5 millionThe First Purge - $9.1 millionSorry to Bother you - $4. ...
