How much did English-language movies released in week 32 of 2018 (Aug 5–11) earn?

How many English-language movies released in week 32 of 2018 (Aug 5–11) made $1 billion?
None. 2 films crossed $100 million, led by The Meg (2018) with $529.3M.
How is the week 32, 2018 English box office chart ranked and where do the numbers come from?
Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and grouped by their release date in week 32 of 2018 (Aug 5–11). The figures are the reported box office grosses in our database. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films or a blockbuster total on an obscure title, is left out rather than shown as a fact, and so are films whose stored language is most likely wrong.
How often is the week 32, 2018 English box office chart updated?
Grosses change while films are in theaters and whenever a new figure is reported; this chart reads the latest numbers in our database, so an older film can still move after a re-release.
