DISNEY'S "The Jungle Book" remained the most popular movie in North America for a third straight weekend.
"The Jungle Book" was expected to sell US$42.2 million worth of tickets between Friday morning and the close of business on Sunday night, as the film was down just 31 percent from last weekend' s healthy hold, according to studio estimates gathered by comScore.
The live-action reboot of the 1970s animated feature was expected to cross the 250-million-dollar line of North America box office revenue today. And it has grossed over 684 million dollars worldwide.
In second place was "The Huntsman: Winter's War," in its second week of showings, with only US$9.4 million weekend. The total gross of it in first 10 days is up to US$34 million.
An R-rated comedy "that defies description" from the comedy team of Key & Peale, "Keanu," debuted in third place, said movie analyst Paul Degarabedian. It premiered with US$9.4 million in sales from 2,658 locations across America and Canada.
Starring Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key, "Keanu" received positive reviews from critics on RottenTomatoes, which shows 75 percent of recommendation. It received a respectable "B" rating from first-night moviegoers on CinemaScore, which shows a relatively good result for an R-rated comedy.
The audience breakdown for the film skewed slightly toward male moviegoers (53 percent) and heavily toward moviegoers over the age of 25 (71 percent).
The remaining 10 most-popular movies this weekend were "Mother's Day"(US$8.3 million), "Barbershop: The Next Cut"(US$6.2 million), "Zootopia"(US$5 million), "Ratchet and Clank"(US$4.8 million), "The Boss"(US$4.3 million), "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (US$3.8 million) and "Criminal" (US$1.3 million).
