Several new movies infiltrated theatres nationwide this weekend, from a lighthearted trip to Italy with Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Diane Keaton and Mary Steenburgen to a Ben Affleck-fronted detective thriller. The two top spots were once again claimed by Marvel and Mario, however.

In its second weekend, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" added US$60.5 million from North American theatres, according to studio estimates on Sunday. That's a slim 49 per cent drop from its opening, which is rare for big superhero films that tend to be front-loaded and have big second weekend drops of 60 per cent or more. As the smallest Marvel drop since the beginning of the pandemic, it also answers the " superhero fatigue " question that some floated last weekend.

It was an especially crowded weekend for new movies, opening both wide and limited in all genres and of all qualities. Robert Rodriguez's "Hypnotic," meanwhile, is bombing. The mystery starring Affleck as a detective whose daughter is missing cost a reported $65 million to make. It went into the weekend with poor reviews and limited marketing from distributor Ketchup Entertainment, and earned just $2.4 million from 2,118 locations.

Sony Pictures Classics also launched its Yogi Berra documentary "It Ain't Over" in 99 theatres, making $106,000.
