1. Don't Worry Darling ($19.2M)
— It's the first movie to film at the Kaufmann Desert House, a modernist landmark in Palm Springs made famous by the 1970 Slim Aarons photo, "Poolside Gossip."
2. The Woman King ($11.1M)
— Lupita Nyong'o was originally offered the title role of Nanisca, leader of Agojie female warriors. She turned it down because of concerns of their alleged complicity in the slave trade. Viola Davis ultimately took the role.
3. Avatar (re-release) ($10.0M)

5. Pearl ($1.9M)
