Retaining the top spot at the box office is, to no ones surprise, Captain America: Civil War with $72.5 million in its second week. The latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews from audiences and critics alike. The film did suffer a 59.5 percent drop from its opening weekend, but in the bigger picture, is still performing very well. Globally, it's amassed $940.8 million, and $295.8 million domestically. Captain America: Civil War will hit the $1 billion mark and be the fourth Marvel film to reach that number.

Disney continues to dominate with The Jungle Book coming in second place, grossing $17.7 million. This film boasts a stellar cast, breathtaking special effects that make the film feel real, and fantastic performances. The Jungle Book has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 95%. The film currently stands at $311.7 million domestically.

Finishing the weekend in third place is the drama/thriller Money Monster, starring George Clooney and Julia Roberts. According to ScreenRant, the mixed reviews of the film are partially to blame for the $15 million performance, although it only cost $27 million to make. In all fairness, it was not the type of film that was going to get a large draw since Civil War continues to dominate and see repeat viewings.

Finishing fourth is the newest horror flick, The Darkness, making just $5.1 million. Albeit a small film, it did receive negative reviews which, unfortunately, has become the norm for many modern horror films. However, films like The Conjuring and The Witch are trying to reverse that trend.

Coming in fifth is Mothers Day, grossing $3.2 million. The film is now has a domestic total of $28.7 million at the end of its third week.

Zootopia reaches $331.8 million domestically, making $2.8 million this weekend and placing sixth.

Seventh place belongs to The Huntsman: Winter's War, grossing $2.5 million and bringing the films domestic total to $44.5 million.

The Key and Peele led comedy, Keanu, finished the weekend in eighth place with $1.9 million. Keanu stands at $18.6 million.

Finally, rounding out the top 10 is Melissa McCarthy's The Boss with $1.1 million, reaching a domestic total of $61.1.
