 Disney and Marvel's latest collaboration earned $112.5 million
from 4,474 locations in its second frame. The 56 percent decline
was just enough to top the record previously held by fellow
Marvel title "Black Panther," which made $111.6 million in its
second weekend. "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" holds the prize
for biggest second weekend, with a mighty $149 million in 2015.
Only five films have ever hit the $100 million-mark in their
second weekends.
In just North America, the superhero mashup has made $450.8
million. Among "Infinity War's" numerous accomplishments is
being the fastest film to gross $1 billion, in just 11 days. And
the film has yet to open in China.
One of three weekend releases opening in "Infinity War's"
almighty wake is "Overboard," anchoring in the second spot with
a solid $14 million in 1,623 theaters. The MGM and Lionsgate
Pantelion remake of Goldie Hawn-Kurt Russell's classic romcom of
the same name now stars Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez. That
three-day estimate washes in slightly ahead of Derbez's last
leading role, "How to be a Latin Lover," which bowed with $12
million in 2017. "Overboard" is currently averaging a bleak 30
percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The audience score, however, is
faring better with a 76 percent.
Slipping to No. 3 in its fifth weekend is Paramount Picture's "A
Quiet Place." John Krasinski's horror thriller made $7.5 million
in 3,413 locations, bringing its domestic total to an impressive
$159.8 million. The third weekend of Amy Schumer's "I Feel
Pretty" secured the fourth slot with $4.9 million from 3,232
theaters. Its North American tally currently sits at $37.8
million. Rounding out the top five is Dwayne Johnson's
"Rampage." The Warner Bros. film grossed $4.6 million in 3,151
locations. In four weeks, its domestic total is $84.7 million.

"Black Panther" likely saw another boost from "Infinity War." The
Chadwick Boseman-starrer landed in sixth place, taking in $3.2
million from 1,641 locations in its 12th weekend. To date, "Black
Panther" has made $693 million in North America.
Focus Features' "Tully," with Charlize Theron, Mackenzie Davis, Mark
Duplass, and Ron Livingston, debuted with $3 million in 1,353
theaters. The comedy-drama directed by Jason Reitman and written by
Diablo Cody has garnered a solid 89% certified rating on Rotten
Tomatoes.
The final weekend opener, Electric Entertainment's "Bad Samaritan"
launched with $1.6 million from 2,007 locations. Dean Delvin's
thriller starring David Tennant, Robert Sheehan, and Kerry Condon
has a B- CinemaScore, along with a 56% critical rating on Rotten
Tomatoes.
Thanks primarily to "Infinity War," the year to date box office is
up 5.2 percent, according to comScore.
