"John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum" dominated the weekend box-office with a better-than-expected debut, while "Avengers: Endgame" took a step back for the first time after 24 days in theaters. The other new arrival, the canine-centric family film "A Dog's Journey", and the teen romance "The Sun is also a Star", performed below expectations.
Find out more about the weekend box-office after the jump.
The third installment in the "John Wick" action saga opened with $57 million from 3,850 theaters, a record for this franchise after the first film grossed $14.4 million when it opened in 2014, and its first sequel scored a $30.4 million debut in 2017. It's also the first in the series to debut at No. 1. Overseas the film brought in $35 million from 66 markets. The threequel has received a very warm welcome from both critics (88% on Rotten Tomatoes and 74 on Metacritic) and moviegoers ("A-" from CinemScore's opening night polls).
"Avengers: Endgame" finished in second place with $29.4 million over the weekend. With a domestic total of $770.8 million, the film has now surpassed "Avatar" ($761 million) to become the second highest grossing domestic release ever, behind "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" with $937 million. Overseas it has reached a total of $1.84 billion. As its worldwide total has topped $2.6 billion, the Marvel flick is now very close to also beating "Avatar" internationally ($2.78 billion).
The Pokemon live-action flick "Detective Pikachu" ended up in third place for its second weekend with $24.8 million after a 54.4% drop. The film's domestic tally is now at $94 million, while overseas it has brought in a total of $112.4 million.
In fourth place we find another new release, the W. Bruce Cameron adaptation "A Dog's Journey", a sequel to 2017's "A Dog's Purpose". The film opened with $8 million from 3,267 theaters, a very disappointing result for the franchise as its predecessor brought in $18.2 million in its opening weekend. Even Sony's own movie based on Cameron's books, "A Dog's Way Home" managed a $11.2 million debut. Overseas the film has brought in $15.5 million from 14 markets. Critics were mostly mixed on the movie (48% on Rotten Tomatoes and 43 on Metacritic) but audiences liked it well enough ("A" grade from CinemaScore).
The remake "The Hustle" starring Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson rounds out the Top 5 with $6 million, bringing its domestic total to $23.1 million. Overseas the film's cume has reached $28 million.
The last of the new wide releases, the YA romance drama "The Sun is Also a Star" tanked with $2.6 million from 2,073 theaters, against a 9 million budget. The critical reception was mostly mixed (50% on Rotten Tomatoes and 52 on Metacritic), and audiences were pretty underwhelmed ("B-" from CinemaScore).
New Wide Releases: "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum", "A Dog's Journey", "The Sun is Also a Star".
Biggest Drop : "Tolkien" (-67%)
Smallest Drop : "The Intruder" (-44%)
