YOUR WEEKEND
BOX OFFICE

The Top 5 Highest-Grossing Films in America Over the Weekend

Buena Vista/Disney's live-action version of Beauty and the Beast blew the box office away this weekend, pulling in a massive $170m. This number gives the film the #1 largest March opening in recorded history, surpassing last year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which bowed with $166m. It's also the seventh largest domestic opening of all time (ahead of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2's opening of $169.1m and just behind Iron Man 3's $174.1m opening).

1. Beauty and the Beast (Buena Vista/Disney) $170m 4,210/$40,380 avg. (debut)
2. Kong: Skull Island (Warner Bros.) $29m 3,846/$7,501 avg. (week 2)
3. Logan (Fox) $18m 3,687/$4,746 avg. (week 3)
