NEW YORK (AP) — "Wonder Woman" wrapped up Tom Cruise's "The Mummy" at the weekend box office, pulling in an estimated $57.2 million in North American theaters. 
 
 Universal's "The Mummy" looked it age, selling a relatively feeble $32.2 million in tickets in its debut weekend. 
 
 That couldn't compete with Warner Bros.' "Wonder Woman" in its second weekend. The Gal Gadot superhero film has quickly earned more than $205 million domestically in two weeks. 
 
 The poor opening for "The Mummy," which cost an estimated $125 million to produce, meant a weak start for Universal's ballyhooed "Dark Universe." ''The Mummy" is intended to launch a new connected franchise of monster movies. 
 
 The A24 thriller "It Comes at Night" aimed for more discerning horror fans. It sold a modest $6 million in tickets in its debut weekend. ||||| “Wonder Woman” won over critics and audiences alike during its $100 million domestic debut last week, and it looks like it’s going to take more than an army of Egyptian gods and Tom Cruise to dethrone the DC Comics superhero. Gal Gadot’s comic book adaptation from Warner Bros. is easily on track to triumph over Universal’s intended tentpole “The Mummy” in its opening weekend. 
 
 Patty Jenkins’ DC Extended Universe savior took in another $16 million from 4,165 theaters on Friday. That number will climb to an expected $53 million by end of day Sunday, giving “Wonder Woman” a domestic cume of $192 million in just two weeks. The female-led film had already surpassed $300 million worldwide prior to this weekend. 
 
 While the summer box office season has officially begun, Cruise seems to have lost control of the Dark Universe. “The Mummy” was expected to be the equivalent of Marvel’s “Iron Man” or DC Comics’ “Man of Steel,” but Universal’s $125 million movie will have to settle with second place. The reboot of the Brendan Frasier franchise earned only $12 million from 4,035 screenings on Friday, projecting a dead-on-arrival domestic debut of just $30 million. 
 
 “Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie” from Fox falls from No. 2 to No. 3 this week. The Kevin Hart, Ed Helms, and Thomas Middleditch animated comedy is expected to make a further $13 million this weekend after pulling in $3.5 million from 3,529 locations on Friday. Those numbers will add up to a two-week total of $42 million for “Captain Underpants.” 
 
 Despite two weeks in the top 3, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” has officially walked the plank to No. 4 in the box office. Johnny Depp’s Disney vehicle pillaged $3 million from 3,679 locales on Friday, meaning the fifth film in the Jack Sparrow series will see $10.5 million for the three-day. However, similarly to what can be expected of “The Mummy,” “Pirates'” global total is much more impressive at $384.5 million compared to its $133.5 domestic draw. 
 
 Also in its first frame, psychological horror film “It Comes at Night” from A24 is performing particularly well off a $2.4 million budget. The Joel Edgerton and Riley Keough thriller is expected to take in $6.5 million by weekend’s end. “It Comes at Night” scared up about $2.5 million from 2,533 theaters on Friday, despite its shockingly low D CinemaScore. 
 
 “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” “Baywatch,” “Megan Leavey,” “Alien: Covenant,” and “Everything, Everything” round out the top 10. ||||| Skip in Skip x Embed x Share Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill talk 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.' By Dan MacMedan, USA TODAY.

 The Dark Knight and Man of Steel delivered a box office beatdown yet again. 
 
 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is No. 1 for a second straight week with $52.4 million, according to estimates from tracking service comScore. The DC Comics film, which pits the Caped Crusader (Ben Affleck) against the Last Son of Krypton (Henry Cavill), has earned $261.5 million in just 10 days. 
 
 The superhero face-off dominated despite negative reviews (29% critical approval on aggregate site RottenTomatoes.com) and a massive drop of 68% from its first weekend, when it opened to a record-shattering $166 million. 
 
 "It is a pretty significant drop, but this was expected," says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. With more than $681 million worldwide, "you have to consider it a box office winner, but on the critical front, it took a pretty hard beating. This was the poster child for that disconnect between critics and fans," who gave it a B grade on CinemaScore. 
 
 Batman v Superman is Zack Snyder's follow-up to 2013's Man of Steel. It co-stars Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, the female superhero's first live-action feature-film appearance in her 75-year history. The blockbuster carries a hefty price tag of $250 million. 
 
 In second place, Zootopia dropped just 17% in its fifth weekend to earn $20 million. The critically adored comedy has now made $275.9 million in North America and a staggering $787.6 million globally, making it Disney's biggest animated success since 2013's Frozen (which scorched the box office with nearly $1.3 billion worldwide). 
 
 Nia Vardalos' My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 held strong with $11.1 million and third place in its second weekend, which brings its total to $36.5 million. The comedy arrives more than a decade after its predecessor, which sprinted down the aisle in 2002 with $241.4 million in North America. 
 
 God's Not Dead 2 managed just $8.1 million for fourth place in 2,400 theaters. The faith-based film is a sequel to the 2014 hit. Rounding out the top five, Miracles From Heaven continued to bless the box office with $7.6 million in its third weekend, dropping only 22%. The Christian drama, starring Jennifer Garner and Queen Latifah, has now earned $46.8 million. 
 
 "For that film to be doing this well is a testament to how loyal and passionate the faith-based audience is," Dergarabedian says. "Closing in on $50 million, it's a total moneymaking machine." 
 
 In limited release, Richard Linklater's Everybody Wants Some!!, a "spiritual sequel" to Dazed and Confused, scored a solid $323,000 in just 19 theaters ($371,000 since opening Wednesday). In four theaters, Don Cheadle's Miles Davis film, Miles Ahead, trumpeted $123,000 for a strong per-theater average of $31,000. 
 
 Final numbers are expected Monday.
