ALL FEMALES CAST MEMBERSWarner Bros’ female-led heist movie debuts with about $41.5 million in ticket sales from 4,145 theaters in the U.S. and Canada this weekend, easily dethroning two-time box office champ Solo: A Star Wars Story.

A great start for Ocean’s 8 and it’s the biggest opening of the Ocean’s franchise, not adjusted for inflation. (Ocean’s 1112, and 13 bowed with $38.1 million, $39.2 million, and $36.1 million in 2001, 2004, and 2007.) Time will tell if the series’ fourth installment can match or exceed the global success of its predecessors. Which will combine and earn more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office.  Ocean’s 8 will have grossed about $12.2 million overseas.
