Pacific Rim Uprising was the film to dethrone Black Panther at the domestic box office upon opening to a tepid $28 million from 2,850 theaters over the weekend. While coming in ahead of tracking, that’s still a troublesome start for a movie that cost $155 million to produce before marketing. The first Pacific Rim, directed by Guillermo del Toro, was likewise muted in its North American launch, opening to $37.3 million in summer 2013.
