It brought in $9.1 million to put it past $400 million in domestic box office, with audiences likely wanting to take in a small piece of the Marvel cinematic story before "Endgame." The receipts for "Captain Marvel" surged in its seventh week this weekend. "They can say, 'We're going the last Friday in April, here's your summer.'" "The summer season usually doesn't start until the first weekend of May, but Marvel can bend the calendar to their will," Dergarabedian said. Next week, even though it will still be April, summer essentially begins for Hollywood as Disney looks for "Endgame" to have possibly the biggest opening of all time. It was one of three horror films in the top 10 over the weekend - "Pet Sematary" and "Us" were the other two - at the end of a winter-spring stretch that along with Halloween has become a heyday for the genre.

The DC Comics superhero comedy was second with $17.3 million, continuing its strong run with a three-week domestic total of $121.3 million and giving Warner Bros.

"The Curse of La Llorona" ended the two-week reign of "Shazam!" in the top spot.
