Disney's 'Ralph' keeps wrecking it at box office

Disney's 'Ralph' keeps wrecking it at box office

Disney's "Ralph Breaks the Internet" has topped the North American box office for the third week in a row, taking in an estimated $16.3 million over the weekend, industry tracker Exhibitor Relations said Monday.

The animated film, a sequel to 2012's "Wreck It Ralph," has sold $141 million in domestic tickets since it opened and has helped Disney make box office history again this year with more than $7 billion in global box office earnings for 2018.

Coming in second over the weekend was "The Grinch," which sold $15 million in tickets. Benedict Cumberbatch voices the grouchy Seuss-inspired title character in that film.

In third spot was MGM's boxing drama "Creed II," at $10 million. This latest in the long-running "Rocky" series stars Michael B. Jordan as Adonis Creed as he -- coached by the aging Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) -- takes on the son of the boxer who killed his father.

Fourth place went to "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" from Warner Bros., with a take of $7 million. The Harry Potter prequel stars Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law and Johnny Depp.

And in fifth was Fox's "Bohemian Rhapsody," at $6.1 million. Rami Malek has drawn rave reviews for his portrayal of rock group Queen's talented singer Freddie Mercury.

The coming weeks will see the release of some expected blockbusters, including "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," "The Mule," "Mary Poppins Returns" and "Aquaman," which scored a huge $93.6 million over the weekend in China.

Rounding out the weekend's top 10 were:

"Instant Family" ($5.8 million)

"Green Book" ($3.9 million)

"Robin Hood" ($3.5 million)

"The Possession of Hannah Grace" ($3.2 million)

"Widows" ($3.15 million)
