LOL. There, I said to myself I would laugh if The Boss beat BvS this weekend, and it did. And with Disney's The Jungle Book opening next weekend, the fat lady is warming up to start singing for BvS.

Pretty freaking pathetic.

That's really close on the estimates to be calling it like that. $23.48m vs. $23.44m. $40k dollars? Yeah, not something I'd confidently declare, even with the other estimates that have The Boss closer to $24m.. Actuals could show BvS ahead. Or The Boss could come out even more dominant. That being said, I'm not a box office analyst, so I guess I'll just go with CBR and Deadline.

Hey lets not mention Batman V superman passed deadpool, is at 784 million worldwide or only had a 50 percent drop. Lets talk about how comedy starting a big box office star barely passed it in the third week. Sigh.

Being dethroned by 'Tammy'...
Au! That's gotta hurt

It had a 54% drop domestically.

EDIT: Internationally (non-US & Canda) it had a 60% drop weekend to weekend:

I think conquered is a big exaggeration looking at the numbers. Maybe shoulda wrote barely scraped by.

Its looking at over 800 million in a day or two worldwide. It just cleaned up again in the international box office its over 500 million there. Yet this is what they want to write? The boss is a comedy, it stars the biggest female comic on the planet, and bvs is in its third weekend.

Is Melissa McCarthy considered a big box office star now?

Ummmm Yea.

third week or not still very disappointing to see it get taken off number one by a generic Melissa McCarthy comedy

Rocky beat the ten count against Apollo by one second and that was enough to become world champion. The Boss won, so that's what counts in the discussion.
