YOUR WEEKEND
BOX OFFICE

The Top 5 Highest Grossing Films Over the Weekend Domestically

Deadpool was the #1 film in America on Oscar weekend, pulling in another $32m for Fox and making it the third-highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time (behind Passion of the Christ and American Sniper) with $286m in its first three weeks.

Lionsgate's Gods of Egypt and Eddie the Eagle—another Fox flick—end up as the only debuts in the Top 5. The latter, a family friendly option about Olympic skier Michael "Eddie" Edwards (starring Hugh Jackman and Kingsman's Taron Egerton), scored a 73% at Rotten Tomatoes, while Gods earned an agonizing 12%.

1. Deadpool (Fox) $32m 3,856/$8,169 avg. (week 3)
2. Gods of Egypt (Lionsgate) $14m 3,117/$4,491 avg. (debut)
3. Kung Fu Panda 3 (Fox) $9m 3,296/$2,731 avg. (week 5)
4. Risen (Sony) $7m 2,915/$2,401 avg. (week 2)
5. Eddie the Eagle (Fox) $6m 2,042/$3,085 avg. (debut)
