The opening had been delayed for a year following injuries O&#x27;Brien suffered on the set.The original &quot;Maze Runner&quot; launched with $32.5 million in 2014 and &quot;Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials&quot; launched with $30.6 million in 2015. &quot;The Death Cure&quot; generated a B+ Cinemascore and drew a 51 percent female audience; 57 percent of the total audience was under 25.&quot;Jumanji&quot; finished with $16.4 million at 3,553 sites in its sixth weekend, declining only 16 percent and giving it $338 million domestically since December 20 -- $3 million behind &quot;Zootopia&quot; for the 46th spot on the all-time list. That&#x27;s far above anyone&#x27;s original forecast and makes it the third-highest performer for Sony of all time.The action comedy, starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, also grossed $17.7 million internationally this weekend for an overseas total of $484 million and a worldwide box office of $821.7 million.Overall domestic business was solid rather than spectacular with $139 million, down 2.5 percent from the same weekend last year, according to comScore. Thanks largely to &quot;Jumanji,&quot; year-to-date business as of Sunday is up 1.7 percent to $918.9 million.Christian Bale&#x27;s &quot;Hostiles&quot; led the rest of the pack with $10.2 million at 2,815 venues as Entertainment Studios expanded the historical drama from 119 locations. Fox&#x27;s sixth weekend of &quot;The Greatest Showman&quot; came in fourth with $8.9 million at 2,663 screens, declining only 11 percent in a remarkable show of staying power. The Hugh Jackman musical has taken in $126.5, which has proven a solid draw for Fox and should finish the weekend with roughly $126 million.Steven Spielberg&#x27;s &quot;The Post&quot; followed in fifth with $8.9 million at 2,640 locations in the wake of Oscar nominations for best picture and Meryl Streep as best actress. The Fox release declined only 24 percent and has topped $58 million so far.Warner&#x27;s second weekend of &quot;12 Strong&quot; finished sixth with $8.6 million at 3,018 sites, edging STXfilms&#x27; second frame of &quot;Den of Thieves&quot; with $8.4 million at 2,432 venues.Fox Searchlight&#x27;s &quot;The Shape of Water,&quot; which led the Oscar nominations with 13, came in eighth with $5.7 million at 1,840 sites as the studio added 1,001 new locations. The fantasy drama has grossed $37.7 million in nine weeks.Warner Bros.&#x27; third weekend of &quot;Paddington 2&quot; took ninth with $5.6 million at 2,792 screens. Disney-Lucasfilm&#x27;s seventh weekend of &quot;Star Wars: The Last Jedi&quot; followed in 10th place with $4.2 million at 1,745 venues for a 45-day total of $610.7 million.Fox Searchlight&#x27;s &quot;Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri&quot; finished 11th with $3.6 million at 1,457 sites in the wake of receiving seven Oscar nominations, lifting its three-month total to $37 million.Focus Features&#x27; &quot;Darkest Hour,&quot; which scored six Oscar nominations, pulled in $2.9 million at 1,322 locations, lifting the Winston Churchill war drama past $45 million. Focus&#x27; &quot;Phantom Thread,&quot; which also received six Oscar nods, took in $2.9 million at 1,021 sites to push domestic gross to $10.6 million for the Daniel Day-Lewis fashion drama.
