‘Think Like a Man’ tops weekend box office for 2nd straight week

The romantic comedy Think Like a Man showed saying power, holding off the competition in retaining the domestic box office crown for the second straight weekend.
     
The movie easily beat four new films to win the U.S. and Canadian box office race for a second time.
   
The film led domestic charts with a US $18 million from Friday through Sunday, according to studio estimates compiled by Reuters on Sunday.

Think Like a Man brought its 10-day sales to nearly $61 million. The movie features an ensemble cast and is based on a best-selling relationship guide by comedian Steve Harvey.

Animated family film The Pirates! Band of Misfits took in $11.4 million and second place in its first week at the box office.

Close behind in third place, the love story The Lucky One added $11.3 million during its second weekend in theaters.
      
The Five-Year Engagement opened at a disappointing No. 5 with $11.2 million, slightly below projections. The movie stars Jason Segel and Emily Blunt as a couple whose walk down the aisle runs into repeated interruptions.

Meanwhile, the superhero movie The Avengers stormed into overseas theaters with record-breaking sales. The big-budget, effects-filled flick hauled in a massive $178 million since Wednesday.

The 3D film from Disney’s Marvel studio set opening-weekend records in 12 territories and reaches U.S. and Canadian theaters on Friday to kick off the summer movie season.
