"Finding Dory" adds another No 1 at the weekend box office for Disney, it's the impressive twelfth winning for Disney out of 26 weeks into 2016.

Fox's "Independence Day: Resurgence," which carries a reported budget of $165 million and opened with an estimated $41.6 million.

First-night moviegoers gave the film a so-so "B" rating on CinemaScore, which indicates the film may have difficulty to grossed over $100 million in North America in future. The film also received a poor 33 percent of recommending rate from critics on RottenTomatoes.
