Sony Pictures Animation’s “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” returned to the top of the domestic box office, adding $19.3 million in its fourth weekend for a North American cumulative of $317.1 million, according to estimates from measurement firm Comscore.
The critically acclaimed superhero film debuted in first place June 2 before it was fleetingly replaced by new installments from the “Transformers” and “Justice League” franchises.
In yet another triumph for animation — the medium has dominated the theatrical marketplace this year — Disney and Pixar’s “Elemental” nabbed second place with $18.5 million, sustaining only a 38% drop in its sophomore outing despite a disappointing domestic opening last weekend. That number brings the family film’s North American total to $65.5 million.
