"Aquaman" is still the champ at the box office three weeks in, but the high-concept thriller "Escape Room" also drew some substantial crowds in its debut weekend.
Warner Bros. on Sunday says that "Aquaman" has added an estimated $30.7 million from over 4,000 North American theaters. That brings its domestic grosses to nearly $260 million. The DC comics film starring Jason Momoa has had a tidal wave of successes internationally too.
Even with the slew of holiday releases, from blockbusters to awards darlings, Sony's PG-13 rated thriller "Escape Room" managed to sneak into second place in its first weekend in theaters generating an estimated $18 million in ticket sales - double its production budget.
Disney's "Mary Poppins Returns" landed in third place in its third weekend with $15.8 million. The nostalgic musical has earned $138.7 million domestically and is competing for four Golden Globe Awards Sunday evening. Globally, it's made $257.9 million.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

Kevin Hart isn't hosting the Oscars, but he's got a number one movie. "The Upside," starring Hart and Bryan Cranston, surpassed expectations to open with $19.6 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The strong performance of "The Upside" pushed "Aquaman" to second after the aquatic superhero's three-week reign atop the North American box office. Warner Bros.' "Aquaman" still passed $1 billion worldwide over the weekend, becoming the first DC Comics release to reach that mark since 2012's "The Dark Knight Rises."
Neil Burger's film, which cost about $35 million to make, stars Hart as an ex-con who becomes a caretaker for a physically disabled author (Cranston). It was originally to be distributed by the Weinstein Co. Harvey Weinstein premiered the film at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival just weeks before the many allegations of sexual harassment surfaced against the movie mogul.
Early January is often a dumping ground in movie theaters and the weekend featured a number of duds. Keanu Reeves' sci-fi thriller "Replicas" debuted with just $2.5 million for Entertainment Studios - a career low for Reeves. Opening more solidly, in third place, was Sony's canine adventure "A Dog's Way Home" with $11.3 million.
The two biggest winners at last Sunday's Golden Globe Awards - "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Green Book" - both saw a bump. Fox's Freddie Mercury biopic, which increased its theater count with hundreds of sing-along screenings, was up 35 percent with $3.2 million. The best comedy/musical winner "Green Book" went up 16 percent with $2 million in its ninth week of release.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
2. "Aquaman," $17.3 million ($27.9 million international). 3. "A Dog's Way Home," $11.3 million. 4. "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," $9 million ($9.4 million international). 5. "Escape Room," $8.9 million ($1.5 million international). 6. "Mary Poppins Returns," $7.2 million ($10.6 million international). 7. "Bumblebee," $6.8 million ($35.6 million international). 8. "On the Basis of Sex," $6.2 million. 9. "The Mule," $5.5 million ($2.1 million international). 10. "Vice," $3.3 million ($1.5 million international).

‘Shazam!’ gives DC another superhero victory with a $53 million weekend box officeSeven films in, the DC Extended Universe is finally flying with some wind behind its back. The well-reviewed, relatively modestly budgeted "Shazam!" debuted with $53.5 million in ticket sales over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, handing DC its latest critical and box-office success. "Shazam!" came out well ahead of the weekend's other top draw, "Pet Sematary." Paramount Pictures' remake of the original 1989 Stephen King adaptation opened in a distant second with $25 million. It's a solid start for "Pet Sematary," though far from the haul that the last big-screen adaptation of King's conjured up: "It" opened with $123.4 million in 2017. Last week's top film, "Dumbo," slid steeply in its second week. Landing in third, the Disney DIS, +0.22% live-action remake dropped 60% with $18.2 million. In fourth was Jordan Peele's horror thriller "Us," which added $13.8 million in its third week. Its cumulative global total stands at $216.6 million. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. 1. "Shazam!" $53.4 million ($102 million international). 2. "Pet Sematary," $25 million. 3. "Dumbo," $18.2 million. 4. "Us," $13.8 million. 5. "Captain Marvel," $12.7 million. 6. "The Best of Enemies," $4.5 million. 7. "Five Feet Apart," $3.7 million. 8. "Unplanned," $3.2 million. 9. "Wonder Park," $2 million. 10. "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World," $2 million. www.marketwatch.com/story/shazam-gives-dc-another-superhero-victory-with-a-53-million-weekend-box-office-2019-04-07?link=MW_latest_news
