Just behind that adorable pachyderm was Jordan Peele’s horror film Us, which added another $13.8 million in its third week of release to bring its total to $152.4 million.
The second super hero—well, super heroine that is—Captain Marvel, raised its five-week total to $374.1 million with $12.7 million over the weekend...
