After their joint debut last week, the new Mean Girls musical and Jason Statham’s The Beekeeper are continuing to do battle at the domestic box office. Unfortunately for the bald, buzzing, British man, though, Mean Girls continues to dominate—making $11.7 million in its second week, for a total of $50 million, with The Beekeeper only making $8 million for a total of $31 million. But hey, they’re both doing okay and they serve totally different audiences, so at least people are going to the movies.

Meanwhile, Wonka continues holding third place, adding another $6 million to its hefty total of $187 million after six weeks (it could break $200 million if things go well), followed by Anyone But You and Migration (both with just under $5.5 million this week). Anyone But You has a total of $64 million and Migration has a total of $94 million.

Also in its fifth week and kicking off the bottom half of the top 10 is Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom, which made $3.6 million and has $114 million total. Then we have the top 10’s lone newcomer, space thriller I.S.S., which debuted to $3 million, followed by Night Swim, The Boys In The Boat, and Poor Things—which now has a relatively wide rollout after some more awards hype and made $2 million in its seventh week (it has $20 million total). Outside of the top 10, Ava DuVernay’s Origin debuted on just 125 screens and made $875,000.

Here’s the top 10 again, courtesy of Box Office Mojo, in an easily digestible list-like format.
