"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" has been finally unseated from the top spot at the box-office by a trio of ladies. The comedy "The Other Woman" starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and Kate Upton was this weekend's top movie, grossing $24.7 million domestically and $20 million internationally. The Cap dropped to second place with $16 million over the weekend, but it has already grossed $225 million in the U.S. alone ($642 million globally), making it the highest-grossing April release ever. The previous record-holder for the month was "Fast Five" with $209 million.
Paul Walker's final finished film "Brick Mansions" performed modestly and only managed to open in fifth place with $9.6 million. The film is a remake of Pierre Morel's "Banlieue 13", and despite a slow start, the studio is apparently content with the film's debut.
The other wide release of the week, the horror "The Quiet Ones" performed poorly. The film landed in seventh place with $4 million, well below the studios expectations and quite a disappointment considering that similarly-themed movies have performed better than this in the past weeks.
In other box-office news, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has earned another $67.2 for its second weekend in foreign markets, bringing its global gross to $132 million. The sequel opens in the U.S. on May 2nd.
