WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Men in Black International tops the chart with 28.5MM, less than half of where its predecessors debuted, even before adjusting for inflation. And the budget was 110MM, about what it made globally so far. No wonder Chris Hemsworth is agitating to continue playing Thor.  The Secret Life of Pets 2 places with 23.8MM on a 49 percent drop; this should still make money, but it's nowhere near the success of the original.  The live-action Aladdin shows with 16.7MM on a 32 percent drop; if it falls short of 200MM domestic, it will be due to Toy Story 4 arriving this weekend.  Dark Phoenix plummets 73 percent to the fourth slot with 9MM, sealing its fate as one of the year's biggest bombs.  Rocketman rounds out the Top Five with 8.8MM on a 36 percent drop. Below the fold, the sixth-place debut of Shaft and the continuing slide of Godzilla: King of the Monsters add up to another big disappointment at the cineplex. Woody and Buzz cannot get here fast enough.
