Despite three new wide openings led by &#8220;Overboard,&#8221; the Marvel film comprised more than two thirds of all ticket sales. It looks like we&#8217;re back to the feast-or-famine trend, especially with &#8220;Deadpool 2&#8221; in two weeks and &#8220;Solo: A Star Wars Story&#8221; right after.<\/p>\n<p>If the feasts like &#8220;Black Panther&#8221; and &#8220;Infinity War&#8221;\u00a0keep performing, exhibitors will be happy for the short term. Those two Marvel titles took #1 for seven weeks so far in 2018, and have a domestic take to date over $1.1 billion. &#8220;A Quiet Place&#8221; is a very distant if impressive third, but in the top titles of 2018 it takes nos. 3-15 to equal those two Marvel movies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Avengers: Infinity War&#8221; has now made $450 million domestic in 10 days. Internationally it&#8217;s $713 million, with China still to come, for a combined total of $1.164 billion. By the end of next week, it should surpass all other films worldwide since &#8220;Star Wars: The Force Awakens.&#8221; And depending on China,\u00a0it could be the first since that smash to reach $2 billion.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"pmc-related-link read-more\">\n\t\t\t<strong class=\"pmc-related-type\">Read More:<\/strong><a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2018\/05\/avengers-infinity-war-second-weekend-box-office-1201959813\/\" title=\"\u2018Avengers: Infinity War\u2019 Should Drop More Than 50% This Weekend \u2014 and That\u2019s Great News\">\u2018Avengers: Infinity War\u2019 Should Drop More Than 50% This Weekend \u2014 and That\u2019s Great News<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/aside>\n<p>Domestically, it&#8217;s now $47 million ahead of &#8220;Panther&#8221; at 10 days (that film dropped 45 percent in its second weekend. &#8220;The Avengers&#8221; reached $420 million (adjusted) and dropped 50 percent. At this point, it looks like &#8220;Infinity War&#8221; should have a domestic total between $625 million-$700 million, most likely over $650 million.<\/p>\n<p>All that said, overall grosses dropped about 15 percent ($30 million) from the same weekend last year. (Last year had &#8220;Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2.&#8221;) Three new, somewhat offbeat titles tried their luck, with one initial success in &#8220;Overboard,&#8221; and two failures in &#8220;Tully&#8221; and &#8220;Bad Samaritan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1201959793\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1201959793 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/overboard.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"Overboard-2960.dng\" width=\"780\" height=\"521\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Overboard&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"image-credit\">Diyah Pera<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Overboard,&#8221; from Lionsgate&#8217;s Pantelion (along with MGM) is the newest English-language film starring comic Eugenio Derbez. Costarring Anna Faris, it is a remake of the 1987 Garry Marshall comedy with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. It retains the story of the original with a gender switch: Derbez plays a wealthy yacht owner who falls and loses his memory, with a cleaning woman taking advantage of the situation to pose as his wife.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"pmc-related-link read-more\">\n\t\t\t<strong class=\"pmc-related-type\">Read More:<\/strong><a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2018\/05\/avengers-infinity-war-black-panther-top-movie-box-office-1201958959\/\" title=\"\u2018Avengers: Infinity War\u2019 is in a 3-Way Battle for the Biggest Marvel Movie of All Time\">\u2018Avengers: Infinity War\u2019 is in a 3-Way Battle for the Biggest Marvel Movie of All Time<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/aside>\n<p>It&#8217;s the best opening so far for a Derbez-lead film. The mostly Spanish &#8220;Instructions Not Included&#8221; opened to over $8 million in 2013, while the bilingual &#8220;How to Be a Latin Lover&#8221; last year started at over $12 million. This had an impressive 23 percent Saturday increase from its opening number, validating its positive A- Cinemascore.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1201921775\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1201921775 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/charlize-theron-in-tully-2018-850x491.png?w=780\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Tully&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"image-credit\">screencap<\/p>\n<p>Despite positive reviews for &#8220;Tully&#8221; and the pedigree of Jason Reitman as director and Charlize Theron as a flailing mother, the comedy failed to gain traction at 1,353 theaters and grossed only $3.1 million. Reitman has struggled in recent years:\u00a0&#8220;Juno&#8221; made\u00a0$184 million in 2007 and in 2009,\u00a0&#8220;Up in the Air&#8221; made $100 million. Since then, he&#8217;s been mired below $20 million.<\/p>\n<p>Quirky (which this is) can be tricky, as initially unsympathetic characters (Reitman&#8217;s increasing focus). It&#8217;s his third time with &#8220;Juno&#8221; writer Diablo Cody, but failed to generate similar interest. Focus chose a wide release over platform. The right move? It is increasingly the new normal; staggered releases seem reserved for guaranteed name directors who can generate sustained interest outside awards season. Here, Focus bet on reviews and counterprogramming for adults. The reality is that a film like this, whatever its release pattern, is increasingly tricky to release in theaters.<\/p>\n<p>The other new wide release, horror thriller &#8220;Bad Samaritan&#8221; from &#8220;Geostorm&#8221; director and longtime Roland Emmerich producer Dean Devlin, was released via his production company. With the date, it managed to get over 2,000 theaters and a possible top 10 placement (final figures tomorrow needed to confirm). It also managed an average of under 100 ticket buyers per theater. Foreign presales and other non-domestic theatrical revenues will determine its fate.<\/p>\n<p>The generally weak new film scene led to strong holds for the usual suspects. Leading the way was &#8220;A Quiet Place&#8221; (down 30 percent, now at $160 million), &#8220;Black Panther&#8221; (down 34 percent, just under $700 million), and &#8220;Rampage&#8221; (off 35 percent, $84 million domestic, on track for over $400 million worldwide).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Top Ten<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1.
