PhotoIt took giant robots fighting giant monsters to finally unseat “Black Panther” at the top of the box office. “Pacific Rim Uprising,” the bombastic sequel to Guillermo Del Toro’s 2013 action film, grossed $28 million domestically in its first weekend. “Pacific Rim Uprising,” shot mostly in China and Australia, cost $155 million to make, not including marketing. “Black Panther” pulled in another $16 million, good for second place. The Roadside Attractions film has now made $38 million, far surpassing its $7 million production budget.
