Box: I kind of wish Life of the Party and Breaking In had swapped leads.

1. Avengers: Infinity War - $50m / $535m / $650m
2. Life of the Party - $23m / $23m / $60m
3. Breaking In - $19m / $19m / $50m
4. Overboard - $9m / $28m / $50m
5. A Quiet Place - $5m / $168m / $180m
6. I Feel Pretty - $3.5m / $43.5m / $50m
7. Rampage - $2.5m / $89m / $94m
8. Tully - $2m / $6.5m / $11m
**Black Panther - $2m / $696m / $700m

Infinity War threepeats over Mother's Day weekend. Amazingly, about half the films in the top 10 will be aimed at women. Life of the Party is Melissa McCarthy's first solo comedy with a PG-13 rating. She's had great luck, but her collaborations with her husband, while profitable, have yielded diminishing returns. Reviews aren't out yet, so they probably will be negative. Same goes for Breaking In, though that will likely be even more front-loaded given the genre. The holiday will help give Overboard, I Feel Pretty and Tully softer drops. Black Panther has been in the top 10 for almost three months and will be there when it arrives for home viewing next week. Insane run!
