Featuring the voices of Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Ed O'Neill, Kaitlin Olson, Ty Burrell, Eugene Levy and Diane Keaton, “Finding Dory” swims into theaters June 17, 2016\. ©2016 Disney•Pixar. All Rights Reserved.Pixar/Disney by [Joey Nolfi / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Joey Nolfi / Entertainment Weekly Jun 26, 2016 6:11 PM UTC Though the 4th of July weekend is less than a week away, _Finding Dory_ continues to launch fireworks at the box office, sitting pretty as the top domestic earner for a second week while nearly doubling _Independence Day: Resurgence_’s $41.6 million debut. The Disney/Pixar sequel swam to an estimated $73.2 million across its second frame, marking a notably steep 59 percent drop on its way to $295.9 million in North American receipts. The film is now on-track to become Disney’s highest-grossing film of 2016, and that’s saying something: The studio’s [_The Jungle Book_](http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=junglebook2015.htm)has amassed $357.1 million total thus far, while [_Zootopia_](http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=disney2016.htm) trails closely behind with $340.2 million and counting. Further driving yearly box office, which is up approximately 1.9 percent from 2015 so far, _Dory_ also seems primed to overtake [_Captain America: Civil War_](http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=marvel2016.htm)as the studio’s top-earning movie of the year, as it should close in on (or surpass) the superhero film’s still-growing $403.9 million total by the end of the holiday weekend. ### _Dory_ added another $37 million in foreign grosses as well, bringing its estimated worldwide total to $396.9 million as it inhabits 46 percent of its planned international footprint to date. Debuting below expectations at No. 2 with $41.6 million is Fox’s _Independence Day: Resurgence_, the sequel to a 20-year-old film no one really asked for in the first place — especially the critics, who savaged the new film with [scathing reviews](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/independence%5Fday%5Fresurgence/) on Friday. The expensive action flick reportedly cost around $165 million to produce, meaning the film will have to rely on foreign grosses to break even. That’s not a death sentence by any means: International grosses have kept films like Disney’s [_Alice Through the Looking Glass_](http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=alice2.htm) ($249 million worldwide) and Universal’s [_Warcraft_](http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=warcraft.htm) ($412 million worldwide) afloat despite disappointing domestic grosses. In particular, _Resurgence_ should fare well with audiences in China, where recent, comparable underperformers like 2015’s _Terminator: Genisys_ and 2013’s _Pacific Rim_ have gone on to earn over $100 million. _Central Intelligence_, The Rock and Kevin Hart’s well-received action-comedy, held on strong in its second weekend of wide release, adding $18.4 million as it slipped a mere 48 percent to No. 3\. The film continues to overperform against expectations, as audiences have flocked to see its charismatic leads to the tune of $69.3 million so far. Coming in hot at No. 4 is Sony/Columbia’s shark thriller _The Shallows,_ which ate up a healthy $16.7 million in its opening weekend. The studio’s decision to move the film’s release date up several days from its originally planned Wednesday debut was a wise move, as the film was bound to open with impressive numbers either way. _The Shallows_ now has an extra kick driving it into the traditionally lucrative holiday weekend ahead. The $17 million action-horror flick also earned solid reviews from critics, as it currently stands at [74 percent](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the%5Fshallows/) on Rotten Tomatoes. As a quality B-movie alternative to _Finding Dory_, _Independence Day: Resurgence_, and _Central Intelligence_, _The Shallows_ has a sturdy platform from which to begin a solid run on long legs, likely holding its own against films with a broader reach (_The BFG_, _Legend of Tarzan_) opening next week. Premiering at No. 5 is STX Entertainment’s _Free State of Jones_, Matthew McConaughey’s first major release since starring in the 2014 sci-fi drama _Interstellar._ Though the historical drama’s estimated $7.8 million opening on 2,815 screens is a modest one, STX’s share of the film’s $50 million budget was approximately $6 million, their limited exposure largely offset by several equity partners who covered a significant portion of production costs. Though it didn’t exactly light the domestic box office aflame, _Free State of Jones_ played best to viewers among the weekend’s new releases, according to [CinemaScore](https://www.cinemascore.com/) tracking. Audiences awarded the film an A- grade, while _The Shallows_ earned a middling B+ and _Independence Day: Resurgence_ notched a lowly B. Outside the top 10, Nicolas Winding Refn’s Cannes thriller _The Neon Demon_ flopped hard with an estimated $606,594 from 783 screens, with a location average of $774\. On the other hand, A24’s _Swiss Army Man_, otherwise known as the “farting corpse movie” starring Daniel Radcliffe, pulled in an impressive $114,000 from three theaters for a per-screen average of $38,000.
