"Solo," pushing it down -- and way down at that -- to No. 2.

The Sandra Bullock/Cate Blanchett-fronted "Ocean's" sequel opened to $41.5 million. That's a bit higher than the best opening of the George Clooney/Brad Pitt trilogy, "Ocean's Twelve" in 2004, with $39.1 million.

Second place went to "topped the box office with a sad second week tally of just under $30 million.)

Hereditary," but barely.

The "Deadpool" sequel reported $13.65 million for No. 3 on this week's box office chart, with Toni Collette's horror at $13.03 million for No. 4.

Still, that was a record for indie studio A24; as rave reviews from critics, although audiences don't seem quite as sold. ("Hereditary" actually ended up with a savage D+ CinemaScore, which ... actually, the dichotomy of rave reviews and a D+ may help sell even more tickets. At least you won't just shrug it off!)

The other major newbie of the week, "Adrift" at No. 6 with $5.05 million, and "Book Club" still in the game with $4.2 million at No. 7.

Meanwhile, "Incredibles 2" takes over next week -- but the "Jurassic World" sequel debuted in 48 markets overseas, earning itself a hefty $151.1 million for its international opening.

What's next? "Incredibles 2" has every plan to beat "Finding Dory" for the record of best animated opening, when it arrives in U.S. theaters this coming Friday, June 15. And then "Jurassic World 2" will probably take the crown for its North American debut on June 22, but it may still be a close race between supes and dinos.
