WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Batman v Superman repeated atop the chart with 52.4MM, but that's off a steep 72 percent from its opening. Word-of-mouth is apparently not as good as DC and WB hoped. Given the continuing pricey marketing campaign and similar drops overseas, the picture looks like it could be in some trouble.  Not in trouble is Zootopia, which placed with 20MM, which ranks among some of history's biggest grossers in remaining at 20MM+ for five weekends.  It still is unlikely to be as leggy as Frozen, but may come within the ballpark. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 showed with 11.1MM, off an expected 38 percent; next weekend will tell the full tale of whether it fades like a sequel. God's Not Dead 2 took the fourth slot with 8.1MM; it's trailing the original by about a million, but (like MBFGW2) it remains to be seen whether this one will have the original's legs.  Miracles From Heaven rounded out the Top Five with 7.6MM on a 22 percent drop, which is quite good consdiering the competition for God's Not Dead 2.  Below the fold, Eye in the Sky expanded wide, rose into ninth place, and took in 4MM; afaik, it's your last look at the great Alan Rickman.
