´Finding Dory´ tops box ******
 

Los Angeles: Pixar´s "Finding Dory" floated atop the box ****** for the third weekend in a row, besting a handful of new releases including Steven Spielberg´s floundering "The BFG," industry estimates showed Sunday.

"Dory," voiced by Ellen DeGeneres, follows a forgetful fish on a quest to find her parents, much as she did as a supporting character in the 2003 animated hit "Finding Nemo."

The film, only in its third week in theaters, made $41.9 million, for a total of $372.3 million in the United States since its debut.

"Dory" stole holiday weekend glory from three new releases, including "The Legend of Tarzan," based on the early 20th century **vel by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

It made $38.1 million at the box ******. In third was "The Purge: Election Year," a gruesome sci-fi action horror film about an annual ritual in which crime, including murder, is allowed for 12 hours.

The third installment of the "Purge" ****** follows a police ******r (Frank Grillo) who is tasked with protecting Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), a senator and presidential candidate targeted for death after she vows to end the bloody ritual.

The film, timed to coincide with the 2016 election year, comes just months before Americans cast their votes in **vember for the next president. It earned $30.9 million.

"The BFG," a fantasy adventure adaptation by Spielberg of the beloved Roald Dahl classic about a girl who befriends a giant, came in fourth with a disappointing $19.6 million.

"Independence Day: Resurgence," dropped to fifth place for its second week in theaters, cashing in $16.5 million, according to industry tracker Exhibitor Relations.

A sequel to the 1996 humans-vs-aliens summer blockbuster, the latest installment is a second helping of space invaders and special effects that has been widely panned by critics.

"Central Intelligence" was sixth at the box ******, with $12.3 million. The action-comedy about a spy who recruits a high school buddy for a caper stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart.

Rounding out the top 10 films of the weekend were:
-- "The Shallows" ($9.0 million)
-- "Free State of Jones" ($4.1 million)
-- "The Conjuring 2" ($3.9 million)
-- "**w You See Me 2" ($3.0 million)
