Logan Lucky, which follows down-on-their-luck brothers Jimmy (Channing Tatum) and Clyde (Adam Driver), made its box office debut in the third spot. It made $8.1 million and earned a rating of 3 stars.

Nerve-racking WWII thriller Dunkirk from acclaimed director Christopher Nolan continued to win over audiences, grossing $6.7 million in its fifth week for a domestic total of over $165.5 million.
