Avengers: Endgame racks up more than $2.48 billion in revenue, making it the second highest grossing film just behind Avatar
Disney and Marvel's"Avengers: Endgame" remained victorious at the North American box office, collecting $65 million during its third weekend in theatres.
However, "Endgame's" third straight box office success didn't come without a little competition. Warner Bros. and Legendary's "Detective Pikachu" gave Earth's Mightiest Heroes a run for their money. The studio's live-action Pokemon adaptation pulled in a solid $58 million when it launched in 4,202 venues.
As a whole, it's a genre that's filled with few hits. "Super Mario Bros." and "Doom" are two of the more high-profile misfires, but even recent titles like Alicia Vikander's "Tomb Raider" remake and Dwayne Johnson's "Rampage" were not popular among video game enthusiasts. Audiences seem high on Ryan Reynolds' snarky take on the eponymous sleuthing Pokemon, awarding the film an A- CinemaScore. Critical reviews were mixed, averaging 64% on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by Rob Letterman, "Detective Pikachu" is based on the popular Pokemon series and the 2016 video game of the same name.
It's been a rough month for STX as its animated adventure "Uglydolls" failed to pick up steam in its second weekend of release. The $45 million movie generated $4 million for a dreadful domestic haul of $14.28 million.Terrible reviews didn't hold back all of this weekend's newcomers. Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway's "The Hustle" launched on the higher end of expectations with $13.5 million from 3,007 screens.
