Part of that may be attributable to stalled momentum and a two-and-a-half-year gap between the second and third film. “The Death Cure’s” release was delayed a year by 20th Century Fox after star Dylan O’Brien’s on-set injury in early 2016. Down only 16 per cent, “Jumanji” added $16.4 million, bringing its total to a robust $338.1 million. In third place, the Christian Bale Western “Hostiles” expanded wide to 2,816 theatres in its sixth weekend and earned $10.2 million. Steven Spielberg’s Pentagon Papers drama “The Post,” from 20th Century Fox, placed fifth in its third weekend in wide release with $8.9 million.
