Hence the good-to-great runs for Fifty Shades of Grey, Furious 7, Pitch Perfect 2, Trainwreck, Straight Outta Compton and Sisters. Even A Dog’s Purpose made $194 million worldwide (thanks partially to $88m in China), which means we’re getting a sequel (A Dog’s Revenge?). Assuming it doesn’t inexplicably drop dead after last night, Girls Trip is the first comedy hit of the summer. In grimmer news, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets earned just $6.52 million on Friday, including $1.7m in Thursday previews. And yeah, it really stinks that Valerian and Dunkirk came out on the same day.
