Last week's champ, Bad Moms, dropped thirty-five percent in its fourth week to take a fraction less over the weekend off 283 screens. The Roadshow comedy has now made $12.5 million overall.

WB's Suicide Squad is on 275 screens and dropped forty-three percent in its fifth week to bring its cume to over $32 million, while Roadshow's Nerve, starring Dave Franco and Emma Roberts, debuted on 196 screens and racked up just shy of $1 million ($996,037).

Uni's Jason Bourne dropped a mere sixteen percent in week six, earning $759,322 off 190 screens to bring its pot to $20.6 million, while Sony's Sausage Party crossed the $8 million mark after four weeks in release.

Dropping forty-five percent in its second week was Para's Ben Hur, which took $529,054 to come in seventh and bring its tally to $1.8 million, while WB's War Dogs pulled in $495,520 in its third week to cross $3.5 million overall.

Oz-shot The Shallows has also racked up around $3.5 million in three weeks. Rounding out the top ten was Icon's Blood Father, the well-reviewed Mel Gibson comeback vehicle which debuted on 79 screens and averaged $3,404 to take $302,769 overall. 

Madman's Hunt for the Wilderpeople is still on 64 screens after 15 weeks, and made more money last week than the previous one (jumping one percent), cracking $11 million with a weekend gross of $67,525.

The top Australian entry was Opera Australia's Turandot, which screened on 28 screens for takings of $23,537, followed by Rosemary Myers' acclaimed Girl Asleep, which Umbrella previewed on two screens for a weekend windfall of $11,967. The SA feature starring Bethany Whitmore has now taken $32,020 in previews alone.
