Directed by Icelandic director Baltasar Korm?kur ("Adrift"), "Beast" follows a recently widowed father and his two teenage daughters (Iyana Halley and Leah Jeffries), who find themselves hunted by a massive rogue lion.

"Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero" is the latest example of the passionate audience for anime films in the United States, and Crunchyroll, which is mostly owned by Sony Pictures, has been owning the market in North America. Dinged by mixed reviews, "Beast" opened to a lackluster $11.5 million from 3,743 North American cinemas. The newest "Dragon Ball Super" installment earned twice as much as the weekend's other new nationwide release, Universal's survival thriller "Beast," starring Idris Elba. "Super Hero" is a necessary bright spot in an otherwise dreary August at the movies. The anime film, playing on 3,007 screens, is backed by the production company Crunchyroll, which specializes in Japanese anime film and television. LOS ANGELES, Aug 21 () - "Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero" topped the box office in its debut, beating expectations by collecting an impressive $21 million in North American ticket sales.
