There were two very clear sets of movies in the top five this week: A Minecraft Movie and a handful of new releases, with a massive gap between the two groups.
A Minecraft Movie easily held onto the No. 1 spot this weekend. The film’s $80.6 million haul was the sixteenth biggest second weekend in domestic box office history, squeezing between Incredibles 2 ($80.3 million) and Wicked ($81.2 million).

2. The King of Kings
Weekend gross: $19.1M
Total domestic gross: $19.1M
Last weekend: New release
Percent drop: NA
Just in time for Easter, the animated The King of Kings scored a pretty great $19.1 million opening weekend. Not bad for a film that’s based on a Charles Dickens story that the author didn’t want published during his life.
