Sharjah24 – AFP: The actor/director's new film "Don't Worry Darling" topped the North American box office this weekend, taking in an estimated $19.2 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday.
Last weekend's top film, Sony's "The Woman King," sold $11.1 million in tickets but saw a 42 percent drop-off from its opening to place second. Oscar winner Viola Davis stars in the history-based tale of an all-female army of African warriors.
In third was the re-release of super-hit "Avatar" from director James Cameron. The 20th Century film took in an estimated $10 million -- most of it on big Imax screens -- for the Friday-through-Sunday period.
Fourth place went to another 20th Century film, "Barbarian," at $4.8 million. The horror film stars Georgina Campbell and Bill Skarsgard.
And in fifth was A24's blood-soaked slasher film "Pearl," at $1.9 million. Mia Goth stars.
