Animated dogs beat out mutants at the box office this weekend as Secret Life of Pets 2 topped X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
The animated sequel raked in $47.11 million over the weekend, a far cry from the $104 million the first film made in its opening weekend three years ago.
X-Men didn’t do that well either, in fact, the film fizzled and had the worst debut in franchise history making only $33 million.
The number three movie was Aladdin, followed by Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Rocketman rounded out the top five.
