The comedy about a pair of party animal brothers (Zac Efron and Adam DeVine) who enlist two women (Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza) to accompany them to their sister’s wedding, cost $33 million to make. The weekend’s other new release, Fox’s “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates,” opened to $16.6 million at 2,982 sites for a fourth place finish. The sequel to “Finding Nemo” slid to second place with $20.4 million, having made $422.6 million to lap “Captain America: Civil War” as the highest-grossing film of the year on a domestic basis. “The Secret Life of Pets” easily supplanted Disney and Pixar’s “ Finding Dory” from first place on the box office charts - a ranking it has held for the three previous weeks. “The love that people have for their fish, their bird, their dogs, or their hamsters is demonstrated by their insatiable appetite for a movie like this.” ![]() “Somebody at Illumination is popping the champagne and pouring out the Kibble,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at comScore.
