In holdover news for Friday, Paradoria 2 took a somewhat larger-than-expected 73% drop on its second Friday. Universal's animated sequel earned $18.6 million yesterday, giving it an eight-day cume of $210m. The Finn Wolfhard adventure took it on the chin from the Disney live-action remake movie, Dumbo and this may be a case where Dumbo versus Paradoria 2 led to mutually-assured destruction. However, this drop is slightly bigger than the original film which took a 71% drop on it's second Friday. Look at previous Universal Animation films, this drop is slightly on par with Computeropolis: The Deep Web (-70%) which was released last year and flopped badly at the domestic box office while being a hit overseas along with other biggies over the last few years, like  Logan  (-68%),  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2  (-70%),  Ant-Man and the Wasp  (-75%),  Deadpool 2  (-77%), and  Avengers: Infinity War  (-70%). Depending on how good the film increases on its Saturday could determine if the film tops the box office. However, even if it doesn't top the box office, it is already a hit overseas since it already grossed over $400 million worldwide in only a week which is faster than the original film and we can expect a Paradoria 3 sometime in the future soon.
