The family film features a star-studded cast, including Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, Kevin James and Keegan-Michael Key. Anne Hathaway and Robert DeNiro’s comedy The Intern took the second slot with $18.2 million while Fox’s Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials came in third, dropping 54 percent in its second weekend with $14 million.
