“Avengers: Endgame” officially passed “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Black Panther” to become the third-highest grossing movie of all time at the domestic box office with $724 million in ticket sales. It’s still the second-biggest film ever globally with $2.48 billion, pacing behind just “Avatar” with $2.78 billion.
The impressive start for “Detective Pikachu” signals a rare win for video-game to big-screen adaptations. But as competition from summer blockbuster season heats up, it’ll need to rely on solid word of mouth to stick around in North American theaters. The studio is also expecting “Detective Pikachu” to resonate overseas, where the electric yellow creature is a fan favorite.
Not all new releases were as fortunate. “Poms,” an uplifting comedy from STX and eOne, debuted with a paltry $5.1 million from 2,750 theaters. Diane Keaton stars in the film about a group of seniors who form a cheerleading squad. To nobody’s surprise, “Poms” opening weekend crowd was 75% female, while 85% were over the age of 25. Reviews were not kind. It carries a 29% on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as a B+ CinemaScore.
