WEEKEND BOX OFFICE:  Ocean's 8 tops the chart with 41.5MM, which is the highest debut of the franchise (before adjusting for inflation,anyway).  Solo places with 15.2MM on a 48 percent drop; there's a good chance this will top out with about as much as people recently thought it would make in its opening weekend. Deadpool 2 shows with 13.7MM on a 41 percent drop; that's lagging the original enough that a third installment can take a little time getting to the cineplex.  Hereditary debuts in the fourth slot with 13M... but despite near universal acclaim on Rotten Tomatoes, it has a D+ CinemaScore, which suggests this craters next weekend. Avengers: Infinity War rounds out the Top Five with another 6.8MM and will probably leave the big screen as the fourth-biggest grosser of all time.
