Each week on <\/span>Atom Insider<\/span>, we break down the box office numbers for all of the biggest films opening in theaters. This week, <\/span>Avengers: Endgame<\/span><\/i> finally met its match: Keanu Reeves. Oh, and a couple of deadly dogs, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

This Week\u2019s Top Earner \u2013 \u2018John Wick: Chapter 3 \u2013 Parabellum\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n

In just one weekend, <\/span>John Wick: Chapter 3 <\/span><\/i>managed to outgross the entirety of the first film\u2019s original box office earnings in 2014, scoring an impressive $57 million in 3,850 theaters. The R-rated Lionsgate film has already made $149.2 million worldwide, nearly tripling its reported budget of $55 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

Domestically, this is a stronger opening weekend than <\/span>How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Detective Pikachu<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>Shazam! <\/span><\/i>This means <\/span>John Wick: Chapter 3 <\/span><\/i>had the fourth-best opening weekend in North America so far this year behind <\/span>Us<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Captain Marvel<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>Avengers: Endgame<\/span><\/i>. There\u2019s no way Lionsgate is letting this franchise go into retirement anytime soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Second Place \u00a0\u2013 \u2018Avengers: Endgame\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n

After a month at the box office, <\/span>Avengers: Endgame <\/span><\/i>finally conceded its top spot, but the numbers still point toward more broken records to come. The MCU film pulled in $29.4 million in North America this weekend, a 53.5% drop after losing nearly 500 theaters. It\u2019s made $770.8 million domestically so far, making it the second highest grossing film of all time behind <\/span>Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/span><\/i>. It will have to somehow make another $166 million in order to win it all domestically, but it has a much easier climb to becoming the highest grossing film worldwide. It\u2019s made an unbelievable $2.61 billion overall, which is just about $174 million shy of defeating <\/span>Avatar<\/span><\/i>, the current record holder.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And Third \u00a0\u2013 \u2018Pok\u00e9mon Detective Pikachu\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n

Looks like enough viewers are catching <\/span>Detective Pikachu<\/span><\/i>, which brought in $24.8 million domestically in its second week. Despite gaining some theaters, it still dropped 54.4%, but the family film has won a solid $287.4 million worldwide off of a reported budget of $150 million. Even Pikachu himself might find that shocking.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rounding Out The Rest Of The Box Office<\/span><\/h2>\n

A Dog\u2019s Journey <\/span><\/i>(Universal) debuted at #4 with just $8 million in North America, which is about $10 million less than its predecessor. This franchise might need to play dead for a while. <\/span>The Hustle <\/span><\/i>(MGM\/United Artists) failed to pick up some much-needed steam in its second weekend, stealing a meager $6 million in over 3,000 theaters and dropping two spots to #5.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Intruder <\/span><\/i>(Screen Gems) fell two spots to #6 in its third week, earning $4 million to its overall total of $28.6 million. Not bad for a film that only cost a reported $8 million. <\/span>Long Shot <\/span><\/i>(Lionsgate) fell to #7 with just $3.4 million domestically in its third week, likely due to losing over 1,100 theaters. The R-rated comedy has only made about $32.7 million worldwide off of a reported budget of $40, making it almost a surefire disappointment in terms of box office.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sun Is Also a Star <\/span><\/i>(Warner Bros) collapsed on entry this week at #8, making only $2.6 million in over 2,000 theaters. It might break even thanks to a low reported budget of $9 million, but only if it manages to hold on to some theater space as more movies enter the summer box office fray this month. In terms of opening weekends, <\/span>The Sun Is Also a Star <\/span><\/i>is now one of the weakest performing young adult book adaptations of all time, even accounting for films that opened in limited release. <\/span><\/p>\n

At #9 is <\/span>Poms <\/span><\/i>(STX), which fell three spots in just its second weekend with $2 million in over 2,700 theaters. And wrapping up the list is <\/span>UglyDolls <\/span><\/i>(STX), which only made $1.6 million in over 2,000 theaters after losing over 1,600 in its third week. The film is a major flop, making only $18.8 million off of a reported budget of $45 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And They\u2019re Out<\/span><\/h2>\n

Looks like <\/span>Breakthrough<\/span><\/i>\u2019s five weeks of fame are up. The Fox film dropped three spots to #11 after grossing an impressive $47.7 million worldwide off of a reported budget of $14 million. <\/span>The Curse of La Llorona <\/span><\/i>(Warner Bros) managed to sneak back on the Top 10 for a quick haunting, but then fell two spots to #12 again in its fifth week. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tolkien<\/span><\/i> (Fox Searchlight) fell off the page, dropping a sharp four spots to #13 in just its second weekend, despite playing in over 1,500 theaters. This will be another early flop for the summer, as the biopic has only scored $5.8 million worldwide off of a reported budget of $20 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

And last we have <\/span>Captain Marvel <\/span><\/i>(Disney) at #14, getting close to wrapping up its impressive 11-week run, which resulted in it becoming one of the highest grossing superhero films of all time with $1.12 billion worldwide. I\u2019m sure that boycott will start showing results eventually.<\/span><\/p>\n
