The eighth installment in the Universal’s high-octane series continued to dominate the North American box office over the weekend, easily fending off three newcomers at home while also passing the $1 billion mark worldwide, industry data showed Sunday.

The film, which stars Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, took in an estimated $19.4 million over the three-day weekend, website Exhibitor Relations reported. The film has grossed $192.7 million domestically in its three weeks out.

The film, directed by F. Gary Gray, has stayed strong after a huge global opening. In the movie, Diesel’s character is coerced by a cyberterrorist played by Charlize Theron to turn against his own team.

The next three films topping the North American box-office list were all new releases.

How to be a Latin Lover, a comedy starring Salma Hayek, Rob Lowe, Kristen Bell and Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez, took in an estimated $12 million for the weekend despite showing on relatively few screens.

Baahubali: The Conclusion is a sequel to a 2015 film also starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah Bhatia. An epic fantasy of murder, love and royal intrigue, the film was produced by Arka Mediaworks. Only the third Indian film to be released in Imax format, it took in $10.1 million, also on a relatively small number of North American screens.

Rounding out the top four was The Circle, starring Tom Hanks and Emma Watson (who also stars in Beauty and the Beast, still in wide release), which takes on the issues of privacy, paranoia and Silicon Valley ethics in a near-future world.

The motion picture, based on a book of the same name by Dave Eggers – who co-wrote the screenplay – earned $9.3 million for the weekend.

In fifth place, still performing strongly in its fifth week, is DreamWorks animation The Boss Baby, which took in $9.1 million. The tale of rivalry between infants and puppies features Alec Baldwin as the voice of the tie-wearing baby-in-chief.

The industry is now awaiting the domestic release next weekend of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which took in an estimated $101.2 million internationally this weekend and is expected to outperform the original Guardians blockbuster, website BoxOfficeMojo.com reported.

Rounding out the current top 10 were: Beauty and the Beast ($6.4 million), Going in Style ($3.6 million), Smurfs: The Lost Village ($3.3 million), Gifted ($3.3 million) and Unforgettable ($2.3 million).
