LOS ANGELES — The M. Night Shyamalan thriller "Split" topped the box office for a second week, outperforming new openers including "A Dog's Purpose" and "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter."
"A Dog's Purpose" still managed to land in second place with $18.2 million despite the controversy around animal treatment on set, while "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" debuted in fourth with $13.6 million.
"Split" added $25.7 million, bringing its total earnings to $77.4 million in two weeks, while the NASA drama "Hidden Figures," took third place after 6 weeks in theatres with $14 million — bumping its grosses to $104 million.
