The North American box office was in a slump this week. Sony Pictures 'new film "Dark Tower" topped the North American weekend box office chart with $19.5 million after opening, making it the worst opening weekend of this year's top film in North America.

"The Dark Tower" is directed by Danish director Nikolai Assel and is based on the novel of the same name by the famous American writer Stephen King. The film combines multiple elements such as adventure, science fiction, fantasy and the West and is widely expected. However, it was not well received after its final release. It only received a B-level audience rating and only had 18% freshness on the Rotten Tomatoes website. American media commented that compared with the production cost of only US$60 million, the film's box office performance was not too bad, but the North American box office overall experienced a "difficult weekend" this week, with poor revenue.

"Dunkirk", a World War II film released by Warner Bros. Pictures, earned $17.6 million this week, ranking second in the North American weekend box office. In the 17 days since the film was released, total box office revenue in North America has reached US$133 million, and total global box office revenue has exceeded US$300 million.

Sony Pictures released the animated film "Expression Fantasy Adventure" earned $12.35 million in three days over the weekend, ranking third in the box office.

Ranked fourth was the comedy "Hi Sisters" released by Universal Pictures, which grossed $11.4 million over three days over the weekend. Ranked fifth was "Kidnapping" released by an independent film company in Los Angeles, which earned $10.2 million in three days.
