'Finding Dory' Swims, 'Independence Day' Sinks at the Box Office
20th Century Fox
Variety reports "Finding Dory" is continuing its winning streak at the U.S. box office, and is expected to net another $75 million this weekend. The sequel to "Finding Nemo" should wrap up the weekend with $289 million in gross receipts after just 10 days in release.
Meanwhile, director Roland Emmerich's "Independence Day: Resurgence" is fighting the good fight and losing, projected to make only about $43 million for the frame. The film, which cost $165 million to make, is going to have to look to overseas ticket sales to recoup.
A big winner of the week is the Blake Lively flick "The Shallows," a shark adventure that will sink its teeth into about $17 million in its opening weekend, or exactly how much it cost to make.
