LOS ANGELES (AP) - With “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” set to open this weekend, Disney and Pixar’s “Coco” topped the quiet box office charts for the third time in a row.

The animated flick earned $18.5 million this weekend, and the only new wide release, “Just Getting Started” starring Morgan Freeman, opened in 10th place with a lackluster $3.2 million.

Holdovers mostly populated the top five, with “Justice League” in second place with $9.7 million, “Wonder” in third with $8.4 million, and “Thor: Ragnarok” in fifth place with $6.3 million. No. 4 was “The Disaster Artist,” which performed well in its expansion to 840 theaters, bringing in just under $6.4 million.
