"Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw", the latest episode of the favorite franchise of racing cars and big biscotos, has retained its first place at the North American box office but with much less spectators than the weekend last, according to estimates published Sunday by the specialized company Exhibitor Relations.
This new episode of the hit series, which focuses on characters Hobbs (played by Dwayne Johnson) and Shaw (Jason Statham), raised $ 25.4 million for its second weekend of operation.

Then we find $ 17 million for her first weekend "Dora and the Lost City", a children's and teenage adventure film adapted from the famous animated series "Dora the Explorer".
The last place in the Top 5 is Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood" and his $ 11.6 million. In total, the film has exceeded $ 100 million at the North American box office
Here is the rest of the Top 10:
