Paramount’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows” won the weekend box office, opening with $35.3 million from 4,071 locations.
Though the sequel, again starring Megan Fox and Will Arnett, easily took first place, it earned nowhere near the $66 million made when its predecessor opened in 2014.
Meanwhile, New Line and MGM’s romantic drama “Me Before You,” starring Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin, opened in 2,704 locations with an impressive $18.3 million — well above initial projections.
The tearjerker came in third, behind 20th Century Fox’s “X-Men: Apocalypse,” which earned an estimated $22.3
