May 18-20 Box Office

And whattayaknow? Another hybrid super-hero feature tops the Big List:

THREE DAYS OF GROSSES

1) Deadpool 2 -- 4,349 -- $125M/$125M -- (1st Week)

2) Avengers: Infinity War -- 4,002 (-472) -- $28.6M (-54%) -- $595M

3) Book Club -- 2,781 -- $12.5M/$12.5M -- (1st Week)

4) Life Of The Party -- 3,656 -- $7.7M (-57%) -- $31M

5) Breaking In -- 2,537 -- $6.4M (-63%) -- $28.7M

6) Show Dogs -- 3,212 -- $6M/$6M -- (1st Week)

7) Overboard -- 1,820 (-186) -- $4.7M (-52%) -- $36.9M

8) A Quiet Place -- 2,327 (-817) -- $4M (-37%) -- $176.1M

9) Rampage -- 1,466 (-1,082) -- $1.5M (-57%) -- $92.4M

10) I Feel Pretty -- 1,505 (-1,353) -- $1.2M (-69%) -- $46.5M

Deadpool 2 isn't just doing well in the U.S. of A., it's frolicking overseas as well, taking in $176.3 million in various countries for a $301.3 million first-weekend accumulation.

Animation hybrid Rampage has made a lot more coin in foreign lands, making $314.5 million to date ($407 million world total). Though its U.S. and Canadian grosses have been weak, it's made sufficient money elsewhere to move into the "profitable" column.

The animated features Peter Rabbit ($335.6 million worldwide) and the sadly anemic Sherlock Gnomes ($73.6 million globally) are still in foreign release, but have pretty much disappeared from domestic screens. The next pure unadulterated, big-time animated feature to roll out is Incredibles 2 on June 15th.

(How Brad Bird's ode to super-heroes fares in the midst of a herd of (semi) live-action crime-fighters will be interesting to see. The original trailer has 25 million hits on YouTube, so that's encouraging.)

This one is the second...
