For the third week in a row, the Avengers have assembled at the box office.
The juggernaut of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Avengers: Endgametakes first place once again with an estimated take of $63 million across 4,662 theaters. Internationally the film banked another $102.3 million bringing its global total to $2.5 billion, which puts it in spitting distance of the all-time record ofAvatar’s $2.9 billion. This weekend the superhero powered blockbuster also became the third-highest grossing film of all time domestically, surpassing Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther with an estimated $724 million.
While no one has the power just yet to topple theAvengers, there were four new releases, all of which made the top ten. Rounding out the top three is two new titles —PokemonDetective Pikachu and The Hustle.
Despite its seemingly perfect placement of a Mother’s Day weekend opener, the Diane Keaton-led Poms fell short of expectations, taking sixth place with an estimated $5.1 million across 2,750 theaters. Produced by eOne and distributed by STX, the film stars Keaton as Martha, a woman who moves into a retirement community and starts a cheerleading squad with her fellow residents.
