"Smell Like" earned another $25.6 million in box office sales over three days last weekend, making it the second consecutive weekend at the top of the box office charts and achieving two consecutive titles.

It has already grossed $80.2 million in 10 days of release and is likely to hold the top spot next weekend.

Although the media and critics don't like this comedy starring the two superstars, the box office is a hit, and the cumulative box office has surpassed "Hurricane Rescue", which has been released for an extra week.

At the same time, the family-themed adventure film "Something Else" played the leading role in the release of the new film, and the first opening ranked second in the box office list with a box office revenue of $17.1 million, a figure that exceeded the surprise of industry insiders.

"Hurricane Rescue" dropped another rank again, ranking third on the list, but it still won 21.88 million in the third week, and the cumulative box office officially exceeded Davis's previous expectation line of 75 million!

This achievement made Davis very pleased, lived up to his great efforts, and made Davis more confident that "Hurricane Rescue" could break 100 million at the box office.
