In the film, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde reunite for a new case that takes them into unexplored corners of the mammal metropolis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20th Century Studios\u2019 <em>Predator: Badlands<\/em>, which finds the latest chapter in the franchise returning to its survival roots, dropped one spot to No. 3.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warner\u2019s Oscar-nominated<em> Sinners<\/em> dropped one spot to No. 4. The Oscar-nominated film stars Michael B.

In the comedic film, Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) have been best friends since they were kids and have always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite movie: the cinematic \u201cclassic\u201d <em>Anaconda<\/em>. When a midlife crisis pushes them to finally go for it, they head deep into the Amazon to start filming.

Decades after the initial outbreak, the story examines how civilization has rebuilt itself in a world forever shaped by infection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, rising from No. 35 last week was Universal\u2019s <em>Bugonia<\/em>, landing at No. 10.
