Box Office Battle: 'The Curse of La Llorona' wins slow Easter weekend

AT&T (T) subsidiary Warner Bros' "The Curse of La Llorona" opened ahead of expectations with $26.5M to easily win the weekend. This was, however, the worst Easter at the domestic box office in 14 years as Hollywood studios held back releasing bigger event pics. Overseas, "The Curse of La Llorona" took in $30M from 71 markets for a global bow of $56.4M. The movie sports a B- CinemeScore and a 32% Rotten Tomatoes score. BOX OFFICE RUNNERS-UP: AT&T subsidiary Warner Bros' "Shazam!" fell to number 2 in its third outing, earning $17.3M for a domestic total of $121.3M. Behind it was "Breakthrough," the first Fox title released by new owner Disney (DIS), grossing $11.1M for a five-day debut of $14.6M after opening on Wednesday. Marvell and Walt Disney Studio's "Captain Marvell" placed number four in North America with $9.1M and $6.1M abroad for a global cume of $1.09B. Rounding out the top five, Comcast (CMCSA, CMCSK) subsidiary Universal's "Little" grossed an estimated $8.5M in its sophomore outing. Other publicly traded companies in filmmaking include Lionsgate's (LGF.A), Viacom (VIAB) and Sony (SNE).
