Elsewhere at the box office, just a single new film — Neon’s upsetting science fiction thrill ride “Infinity Pool” — opened in theaters cross country. The adults-only film, from chief Brandon Cronenberg (child of classification legend David Cronenberg), appeared to quieted results, producing $2.7 million from 1,835 cinemas.
