Avengers: Age of Ultron remained atop the domestic box office for its second weekend, pulling in an additional $77 million for a North American total of $312 million.
Disney and Marvel’s film soared ahead of the debut of the Reese Witherspoon-Sofia Vergara cop comedy Hot Pursuit, which scored just $13 million in the domestic market, according to box office tracker Rentrak.
Despite its domestic success, Age of Ultron doesn’t appear to be on track to break the box office records set by its 2012 predecessor, The Avengers. The original movie scored $103 million during its second weekend, down from its unprecedented $207 million opening weekend.
Age of Ultron also saw a strong performance in the foreign box office, Variety reports, racking up another $68 million overseas for an international total of $562 million.
Here’s how the top 5 rounded out: The Age of Adaline brought in $5.6 million, Furious 7 nabbed $5.27 million and Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 wrangled another $5.19 million.
