The dominance of sequels, reboots, and franchise movies is such that this week's US box office No. 1 is only the third original release to top the chart this year. The animated adventure Abominable follows Us and Good Boys, but with an estimated $20.8 million debut, it still fell short of both those films' opening take. Nevertheless, it's a solid debut for the film, and gave Universal its seventh No. 1 of the year, which is the largest number for any studio in 2019. It's likely to be short-lived however, with Joker set for release this Friday.
The spin-off of TV show Downton Abbey Downton Abbey dropped one place to No.2, earning an estimated $14.5 million, bringing its US total to $58.5 million. The film has also done very well overseas, and its worldwide total now stands at $107.1 million, from an estimated budget of just $20 million. The acclaimed crime drama Hustlers continued to perform well, making another $11 million in its third week of release to climb back to No. 3. The Top 5 was rounded out by the horror hit It: Chapter 2 at No.4, while the Brad Pitt-starring sci-fi drama Ad Astra dropped to fifth place.
