"Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" has been reigning in the worldwide and U.S. box office collections ever since its March 25 premiere. However, comScore notes that in the past weekend Melissa McCarthy-Kristen Bell comedy "The Boss" pushed the DC film to the second place at the U.S. box office.
The weekend of April 3 had seen "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" raking in a whopping $52.4 million at the U.S. box office, but the second weekend brought it down to less than half at $23.4 million. Meanwhile, "The Boss" headed the list with $23.5 million.
The superhero film, however, managed to hold its top spot in the worldwide box office collections, even if there was a substantial slip from last weekend's $137.5 million to $57.4 million. Disney's "Zootopia" came in second with $37.1 million in worldwide collections, and was third with $14.4 million at the U.S. office.
"The Jungle Book," Disney's ambitious live-action/CGI project, which is yet to be released in the U.S., has already made $28.9 million worldwide.
