Vigilante action film "Peppermint," starring Jennifer Garner as a mother seeking revenge against the drug cartel she blames for killing her husband and daughter, grabbed the number two spot with $13.4 million in ticket sales.
"Crazy Rich Asians," with its nearly all-Asian cast led by Henry Golding and Constance Wu, came in third with $13.1 million.
Another Warner film, "The Meg," came in fourth with $6.1 million in ticket sales. It stars Jason Statham as a rescue diver confronting a huge, prehistoric shark.
