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).  The Intruder slides to fourthwith 6.6MM, though its 21MM take to date is likely fine against an 8MM budget.  Long Shot rounds out the Top Five with 6.1MM.  The Avengers will likely fall to John Wick 3 next weekend.
