Box office top 20: 'The Jungle Book' tops newcomers
NEW YORK (AP) — "The Jungle Book" extended its box-office reign to three weeks, easily besting a handful of newcomers that made little impact.
In its third week of release, the Disney release took in $43.7 million, according to final box-office figures Monday.
Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele's action comedy debuted with $9.5 million; Garry Marshall's latest holiday-themed romantic comedy "Mother's Day" weakly opened with $8.4 million; and the video-game adaptation "Ratchet & Clank" took in just $4.9 million.
The top 20 movies at U.S. and Canadian theaters Friday through Sunday, followed by distribution studio, gross, number of theater locations, average receipts per location, total gross and number of weeks in release, as compiled Monday by comScore:
