'Pacific Rim Uprising' dethrones 'Black Panther,' but that doesn't mean it's a hit
LOS ANGELES - For the first time in six weeks, Disney's juggernaut "Black Panther" has been knocked from the top box office spot with the debut of Universal's "Pacific Rim Uprising."
"Obviously we're always pleased to open at No. 1," said Jim Orr, Universal's distribution chief, "and to do it under these circumstances is fantastic."
"Pacific Rim Uprising," the big-budget sci-fi sequel estimated to have cost $155 million, came within range of analysts' expectations of $25 million to $30
