That will give the superb historical drama a superb $56m domestic total. That will give the $75m animated musical a $235.7m domestic total passing Moana. earned $1.05 million (50%) yesterday for a likely $3.45m (-47%) Fri-Sun and $4m Fri-Mon weekend for a new $55.8m domestic total. Assassin’s Creed, which had a massive overseas expansion last weekend, earned $400,000 (-68%) on Friday as it lost 1,674 theaters.
