WEEKEND ROUNDUP: Melissa McCarthy's 'The Boss' Inches Past 'Batman v Superman'

Welcome to WEEKEND ROUNDUP, where we discuss this weekends box office results.  The TOP 3 films for the weekend of April 8-10 were The Boss, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Zootopia.

Let's take a look at this week's box office results:

WHAT STANDS OUT?

Batman v Superman took another hit this weekend, though not as large as last weekend, and allowed newcomer, The Boss, inch passed it on the leader board.  We also saw Zootopia pass $850 million worldwide, getting ever so closer to $1 billion.

THE TOP 3:

1. THE BOSS

The brand new, Melissa McCarthy R-rated comedy, The Boss, hit theaters this weekend, and managed to just squeak by the previous #1 spot holder, Batman v Superman.  The Boss brought in $23.6 million domestically and $24.7 million worldwide on a $29 million production budget.

2. BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

DC's second installment in their brand new shared cinematic universe, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, took another dip this weekend, dropping 54.5%, just barely putting it in the #2 spot with $23.4 million.  This puts the film at a domestic total of $297.6 million and $784.3 million worldwide.

3. ZOOTOPIA

Disney Animation's newest film, Zootopia, managed to hang on to a spot in the Top 3 again during its sixth weekend, dropping only 25.8% to bring in a solid $14.3 million.  This puts its domestic total at $296 million and its worldwide total at a very impressive $852.5 million.  If it continues on this path, it definitely has a shot at crossing the $1 billion mark.
