WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Avengers: Endgame threepeats atop the chart with 63MM on a 57 percent slid; it will pass Avatar this weekto become the 2nd-biggest domestic grosser, but it's now lagging behind current champ The Force Awakens at this point in its run. Closing in on 2.5 Billion worldwide, it still stands a good chance pass Avatar to become the all-time global champ. Detective Pikachu placed strong with 58MM (it's already at 170MM wrldwide, so count this one as a winner). The Hustle shows with 13.5MM, which seems less than great (though maybe a comedy finds legs, and the budget has been kept under wraps).
