The Chernin Entertainment film, featuring McCarthy as a desk-bound CIA analyst who becomes a field agent, was able to take the top slot despite low ticket sales this summer compared to one year ago, _Variety_ reports. While the weekend marked the third straight decline compared to last year’s numbers, movie theaters are [expecting](http://variety.com/2015/film/news/spy-entourage-box-office-1201514065/ "undefined") next week’s _Jurassic World_ premiere—projected to earn up to $100 million—to help boost summer ticket sales. According to box office tracker Rentrak, the Warner Bros. disaster film _San Andreas,_ which debuted last week at No. 1, fell to second with $26.4 million. _Insidious: Chapter 3_ was in third with about $23 million. Two other Warner Bros. flicks rounded out the top 5: _Entourage_ came in at No. 4 with $10.4 million and _Mad Max: Fury Road_ nabbed $7.9 million. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3911848/melissa-mccarthy-spy-film-weekend-box-office/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3911848/melissa-mccarthy-spy-film-weekend-box-office/"},"headline":"Melissa McCarthy's Spy Scores Weekend Box Office","datePublished":"2015-06-07T18:15:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:59:04.277Z","description":"San Andreas came in second with $26.4 million","url":"https://time.com/3911848/melissa-mccarthy-spy-film-weekend-box-office/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt27575c85810cb5de/6988535106f2c1e7fe33a86a/melissa-mccarthy1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jack Linshi","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/jack-linshi/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt27575c85810cb5de/6988535106f2c1e7fe33a86a/melissa-mccarthy1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Melissa McCarthy spy","caption":"Melissa McCarthy spy","creditText":"Andy Kropa—Invision/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3911848/melissa-mccarthy-spy-film-weekend-box-office/","name":"Melissa McCarthy's Spy Scores Weekend Box Office"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Late-Night Highlight: Melissa McCarthy Hurt Herself In The Most Ridiculous Way","description":"Melissa McCarthy hurt herself in the most ridiculous way while she was filming her newest movie, 'Spy.'","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/MVLBd0x4/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-03T08:45:50.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/MVLBd0x4.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3911848/melissa-mccarthy-spy-film-weekend-box-office/","duration":"PT1M22S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3911848/melissa-mccarthy-spy-film-weekend-box-office/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
