Meanwhile, Jordan Peele’s Us garnered another $33 million, down 52% from its premiere weekend, bringing its domestic total to $128 million on a $20 million budget. In it’s fourth week, Captain Marvel ended the weekend with another $20.5 million, its domestic total soaring to $353 million. Worldwide, Captain Marvel has earnedt $990 million.

The biggest disappointment of the weekend goes to The Beach Bum starring Matthew McConaughey. The film earned just $1.8 million it’s opening weekend, which is the lowest in McConaughey’s career for a movie playing on 1,000 screens.
