Box: Will the real summer movie season start date please stand up?

1. Avengers: Endgame - $150m / $620m / $925m
2. Long Shot - $11m / $11m / $35m
3. Uglydolls - $10m / $10m / $35m
4. The Intruder - $7m / $7m / $19m
5. Captain Marvel - $4.5m / $421m / $432m
6. Breakthrough - $4m / $33m / $44m
7. Curse of La Llorona - $3.5m / $48m / $55m
8. Shazam - $3m / $135.5m / $142m
9. Dumbo - $2m / $110m / $114m
**Little - $2m / $39m / $43m

You might not have heard this, but Avengers was an absolute beast last weekend. So many records broken, and it really has given a big boost to Captain Marvel. Three openers in wide release for the original summer start date. Long Shot might be leggy given positive reviews and advance buzz. I have no idea about Uglydolls, but next week is Pikachu so Godspeed. Screen Gems hasn't had much luck with its exploitation thrillers outside of September, so The Intruder will probably struggle even in single digits. There's also something called El Chicano opening in 600+ theaters.
