Sonic the Hedgehog 2 starring Jim Carrey and James Marsden held onto third place for another weekend, earning an additional $6.2 million for a five-week total of $169.9 million.

Also retaining its spot from last weekend was Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. It took in an extra $3.95 million for a total of $86 million.

Rounding out the top five was Everything Everywhere All at Once, which earned an additional $3.3 million this weekend for a seven-week total of $41.6 million. ~Alexandra Heilbron
