Legendary and Universal's Pacific Rim Uprising was the film to finally dethrone Black Panther at the domestic box office upon opening to a tepid $28 million from 2,850 theaters.

 While coming in ahead of tracking, that's still  troublesome for a movie that cost at least $150 million to produce before marketing.

Overall revenue for the weekend was down a steep 37 percent as Pacific Rim and four other new nationwide releases failed to wow.
