LOS ANGELES — Audiences helped the “Fast & Furious” spinoff “Hobbs & Shaw” take another lap at No. 1 even with an onslaught of four new major releases this weekend.

From family films to R-rated adult fare, moviegoers had their pick as studios tried to capitalize on the waning days of summer. And this weekend some, such as “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,” fared better than others, like the Melissa McCarthy and Tiffany Haddish mob thriller “The Kitchen.”

“There are always going to be casualties when there are this many openers,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for box office tracker comScore. “They cannot always be lined up in the top four rankings.”

“Hobbs & Shaw” managed to hold on to first place again. According to estimates from Universal Pictures on Sunday, the Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham action flick fell 58 percent from its first weekend but added $25.4 million from North American theaters. It’s now grossed $108.5 million domestically and $332.6 million worldwide.

Second place went to the PG-13 film “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,” from CBS Films and eOne Entertainment, with a better than expected $20.8 million. Lionsgate distributed the Guillermo del Toro-produced horror film which had been tracking to open in the mid-teens.

Close behind in third was “The Lion King” with $20 million in its fifth weekend in theaters.

Newcomer “Dora and the Lost City of Gold,” from Paramount Pictures, found a healthy audience too, earning an estimated $17 million for a fourth place start. Starring Isabela Moner, “Dora” is based on the popular TV series.

And in fifth place, Quentin Tarantino’s star-vehicle “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood” added $11.6 million and crossed the $100 million mark.

But not all the newcomers were so lucky. The dog owner tearjerker “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” with Milo Ventimiglia, opened in sixth place with $8.1 million.

And the ’70s-set McCarthy and Haddish crime thriller “The Kitchen” flopped in seventh with only $5.5 million.

Estimated ticket sales are for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore.
