VIDEO : | 'Dark Phoenix' Has Worst X-Men Debut Ever

Los Angeles - Universal's new animation The Secret Life of Pets 2 managed to lead North American box offices this weekend with an estimated take of $47.1m even while earning less than half what the first Pets film did just three years ago. Pets 2, produced by Illumination studio, edged out another new release, Fox's X-Men: Dark Phoenix, to top the three-day weekend, according to industry watcher Exhibitor Relations.
