Weekend of Vengeance

Another super hero movie stuffed with animated effects (what's new?) tops the Big List:

THREE DAYS OF GROSSES

1) Avengers: Infinity War -- 4,475 -- $245.6M -- $245.6M (1st Weekend)

2) A Quiet Place -- 4,101 -- $10.6M (-49%) -- $148.1M

3) I Feel Pretty -- 3,440 -- $8.2M (-49%) -- $29.6M

4) Rampage -- 3,508 (-607) -- $7M (-65%) -- $77.8M

5) Black Panther -- 1,650 (-280) -- $4.4M (-11%) -- $688M

6) Super Troopers 2 -- 2,125 (+87) -- $3.4M (-77%) -- $21.9M

7) Truth Or Dare -- 2,420 (-648) -- $3M (-58%) -- $35.1M

8) Blockers -- 2,324 (-810) -- $2.9M (-57%) -- $53.1M

9) Ready Player One -- 2,365 (-843) -- $2.5M (-66%) -- $130.8M

10) Traffik -- 1,046 -- $1.5M (-61%) -- $6.7M

11) Isle Of Dogs -- 1,001 (-946) -- $1.4M (-60%) -- $27M

So let's tote up the score card: the one animated feature on the list, Isle of Dogs has fallen out of the Top Ten after six weeks and now sits at #11.

The partially animated Avengers rules at #1; A Quiet Place (#2) has CG space aliens; the hybrid animated feature Rampage comes in at #4; the super hero flick Black Panther, replete with visual effects, is right behind at #5, and Spielberg's partially-animated Ready Player One holds down the 9th position.

So animation figures in six of the top eleven movies America now watches. Impressive.
