Jul 29, 2019 | 10:31 AM

Quentin Tarantino has made nine critically lauded films, but none have been resounding critical successes. However, he broke his streak this weekend with the star-studded Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The film, which stars Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie, among many others, is the first one to be distributed outside the Miramax/Weinstein Company universe.

It opened to $40.3 million, a record. Hollywood still couldn’t beat Jon Favreau‘s The Lion King remake, which topped the B.O. at $75.5 million. The next two spots were snagged by Spider-Man: Far From Home and Toy Story 4, which brought in $12.2 million and $9.8 million respectively.
