Melissa McCarthy jumped into the box-office fray with a new movie this weekend, but Avengers: Infinity War still rules, the AP reports. The Walt Disney Studios on Sunday estimates it has added $61.8 million from North American theaters, bringing its total domestic earnings to $547.8 million in its third weekend. Globally the film has now grossed over $1.6 billion, making it the fifth biggest of all time. The superhero blockbuster easily overpowered newcomers like the McCarthy comedy Life of the Party and the Gabrielle Union thriller Breaking In.
In a distant second, Life of the Party earned an estimated $18.5 million, while the modestly budgeted Breaking In took third place with $16.5 million. The mom-themed films were strategically timed to launch over Mother's Day weekend. Both drew mostly female audiences. The comedy Overboard came in fourth with $10 million and A Quiet Place held fifth spot with $6.3 million, Variety reports.
