The reign of Gone Girl is over. After two weeks at No. 1 across North American box offices, David Fincher’s marital thriller ceded to the World War II movie Fury, which stars Brad Pitt.
The David Ayer-directed film took in $23.5 million in one of the best openings ever for a World War II movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Gone Girl didn’t go down without a fight, though: its domestic gross just crossed $100 million and it also beat out the new animated film The Book of Life (featuring the voices of Zoe Saldana and Channing Tatum) for the No. 2 spot.
The Best of Me, starring James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan, became the worst-ever opening for a Nicholas Sparks novel adaptation, coming in fifth place with $10.2 million.
