Jolie, 46, is a special envoy for the United Nations refugee agency, which says more than 12.7 million people have fled their homes in the past two months, which represents around 30% of Ukraine's pre-war population.
Box Office: 'The Bad Guys' Leads Quiet Weekend With $16 Million

Its eighth-place finish is a weak result, but one that's close to Neeson's recent theatrical releases like "Blacklight" ($3.6 million debuts), "Honest Thief" ($3.6 million debuts), and "The Marksman" ($3.1 million debuts).
