WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Captain America: Civil War repeats atop the chart with 72.6MM on a 59 percent drop similar to The Avengers: Age of Ultron and Iron Man 3. It should remain strong next weekend. The Jungle Book places strong with 17.8MM on a leggy 28 percent drop in its fifth weekend. The debut of Money Monster shows with 15MM against a 27MM budget; it's unlikely to profit in North America but do well enough globally tomake a decent profit.  The Darkness debuted in the fourth slot with 5.1MM, which is probably okay against a 5MM budget.  Mother's Day rounds out the Top Five with 3.3MM, plummeting 71 percent in the post-holiday frame.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Captain America: Civil War dominated the chart with 181.8MM, with another 496.6MM overseas (where it's been open a little longer in some markets). That's a little lower than the most optimistic projections that assumed this would play as a Avengers movie, but already larger than the entire global runs of Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World. It's the fifth-largest opening weekend ever, so the House of Mouse is surely pleased. The Jungle Book finally slips 50 percent to place 21.9MM.  Mother's Day showed with 9MM, which was up 7 or 8 percent from its debut, put is far from profitable against a 25MM production budget.  The Huntsman: Winter's War slides 63 percent to the fourth slot with 3.6MM and a likely loss on the big screen.  Keanu rouns out the Top 5 with 3MM on an even bigger 67 percent slide, but at least the budget here was only 15MM.
