Men in Black 3 is the film to finally stop The Avengers box office winning streak by making $55 million over the weekend and extra $15 over Memorial Day for $70 million. The Avengers still made a whopping $37 million from the three day and another $10 million on Monday as well as making it across the $500 million (domestic) mark in a record 23 days. The rest are for the three estimates only: Battleship with almost $10.8 million for third, Dark Shadows with $7.5 million for sixth, and The Hunger Games with $2.2 million for ninth.
