WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 repeats atop the chart with 63MM on a 57 percent drop, but almost exactly what the original made in its second weekend. The worldwide total so far is 630MM, so it's likely in the black. Snatched places with 17.5M, likely a good start against a 42MM budget, but much less than Amy Schumer's prior Trainwrecked, and another in a series of female-led counter-programming moves at the start of the Summer season that didn't quite work.  But the real story this weekend is King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, which shows with 14.7MM against a 17MM budget. With only another 29MM in foreign sales, this is an atomic bomb. The Fate of the Furious was fourth, adding another 5.3MM to a global total of almost 1.2 Billion.  The Boss Baby rounds out the Top Five with another 4.6MM.
