Universal’s horror thriller Split posted one of the most surprising box office performances in months this weekend, with a $40.01 million opening weekend coming well ahead of many of the most optimistic projections. Paramount’s action sequel xXx: The Return of Xander Cage came in second place with $20.13 million, but that was far below what the original xXx opened with back in 2002. The leader for the past two weekends, Fox’s Hidden Figures, dropped to third place with $15.72 million. Weinstein Company’s biopic The Founder opened decently given its modest pre-release expectations, with $3.40 million.
