Disney's live-action 'Dumbo' remake managed to unseat Universal's 'Us' from the top of the box office this weekend, despite the film's soft opening.

Directed by Tim Burton, who remade"Alice in Wonderland" into a live-action blockbuster for the studio in 2010, the film is nearly twice as long as the 1941 original and cost an estimated $170 million to make. Horror films typically drop by 60% in their second weekend, but director Jordan Peele has established himself as a filmmaker to watch following 2017's"Get Out" and, now,"Us." Strong word-of-mouth praise and positive critical reviews have also bolstered the film's box office success.
Rounding out the top five, PureFlix's"Unplanned" premiered with $6.1 million. The anti-abortion drama follows a Planned Parenthood clinic director who becomes an anti-abortion activist. It earned a 53% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
