The weekend’s only wide release was a very big one — and it predictably dominated the US box office.
Studio estimates have “Captain America: Civil War” earning a whopping $181.8 million in its first weekend at the domestic box office. More than eight times the amount earned by the nearest competitor, the gross easily positions “Civil War” at #1.
After a three-week streak at #1, “The Jungle Book” slips to #2 this week. It earned $21.9 million this weekend, resulting in a cumulative gross of $285.0 million.
Up one place, “Mother’s Day” improves to #3. It earned $9.0 million across Mother’s Day weekend.
“The Huntsman: Winter’s War” falls two places to #4 with $3.6 million, while “Keanu” drops two places to #5 courtesy a weekend gross of $3.1 million.
