There was nothing particularly surprising to report from the most recent weekend box office battle as The Avengers: Age of Ultron continued its trajectory, tearing up multiplexes on the way to earning another $77.2 million. That is the second best second weekend ever, behind only the original Avengers‘ incredible $103.1 million. The sequel is now sitting at $875 million worldwide and probably won’t take long much longer to hit $1 billion as it opens in Japan and China this week. In second place, the action-comedy Hot Pursuit was a bit of a disappointment, earning $13.3 million, which is on the low end of what most people were predicting and certainly nowhere near what The Heat did back in 2013. The Age of Adaline, Furious 7 and Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 rounded out the top 5. Meanwhile, The D Train starring Jack Black and James Marsden opened out of the top 10 with just $469,000… not good news for IFC Films considering that they acquired it for $3 million at Sundance earlier this year.

1. The Avengers: Age of Ultron — $77.2M
2. Hot Pursuit — $13.3M
3. The Age of Adaline — $5.6M
4. Furious 7 — $5.27M
5. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 — $5.19M
6. Ex Machina — $3.47M
7. Home — $3M
8. Woman in Gold — $1.65M
9. Cinderella — $1.57M
10. Unfriended — $1.41M

    Age of Ultron isn’t getting the same word of mouth as the first one so I can’t see it outgrossing it in the end. I’m also betting Mad Max knocks it out of first place next week. *being optimistic*

    Isn’t time to take a break from the Superhero movies. So much CGI. We get it Marvel. People fight boring robots every movie.
