It was a tight race for the number one spot at the box office but in the end, Batman and Superman were no match for Melissa McCarthy. The Boss starring McCarthy took No 1 with an estimated $23.5 million enough to narrowly beat Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The superhero match-up fell just short of a third weekend at No 1, earning $23.4 million and bringing its total after three weeks to $296.7 million. Disney’s Zootopia took the No 3 spot with $14.5 million, bringing its total to $296.2 million after six weeks in theaters. Universal’s My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 took the No 4 spot with $6.4 million and the weekend’s other new release Hardcore Henry, took in $5.1 million for the No 5 spot. nnThe first reactions to Captain America Civil War are in and, big surprise, people love it. Critics and industry members gushed about it all on social media, with our own Collider Video crew enthusiastically singing its praises as well. Along with the action being singled out as amazing, special mentions for plot and character development were also commented on with big shout outs, especially, going to Spider-Man and Black Panther. nnWarner Bros. released the newest trailer for Suicide Squad during the MTV Movie Awards showing a whole new set of action scenes with footage focusing on individual characters and how they interact with each other along with even more shots of Batman mixed in. The tone is noticeably lighter with a lot of humor mixed in, showing that a lot of fun can be had in the DC Extended Universe. nnBUY OR SELLn nWarner Bros continued to show off their big budgeted movies, this time releasing the newest trailer for their Harry Potter spin off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Directed by David Yates, the film is the first one scripted by Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling, with Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne playing the wizard Newt Scamander. The new trailer brings us back into the magical world of Harry Potter, with an adventure that takes place in New York seventy years before the events of the first Harry Potter, in 1926. nnMichelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael are back in the newest trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. The new look offers up more of a story with the turtles questioning their existence and always having to hide in the shadows in order to live. nnSo much has been said about the darkness and dour nature of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. We still can look forward to an even darker cut when Zack Snyder releases an extended director’s cut that will be rated R. In giving us an idea of what was cut and might be included in the R rated version, Zack Snyder spoke to IGN about a particular scene he felt was actually too dark to make it in to the movie. nnHugh Jackman will play Wolverine one last time in the X-Men universe, with the third solo movie gearing up for production. Though specific details are somewhat scarce, we do know who will be squaring off against Jackman as the film’s big villain. Thanks to a report from Deadline, Narcos star Boyd Holbrook has signed on to play the film’s main villain, an as yet nameless character Deadline describes as a relentless, calculating and intense head of Security for a global enterprise who is set against Jackman’s clawed Wolverine/Logan hero.” The movie will feature Logan teaming with Professor X, played by Patrick Stewart, in a story that Jackman has teased as Old Man Logan. nnMAIL BAG nnLIVE TWITTER QUESTIONS nnFollow us on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ColliderVideonnFollow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/ColliderVideonnFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/colliderdotcomn nFollow Mark: https://twitter.com/MarkEllisLivennFollow Dennis: https://twitter.com/ThinkHeronnFollow Schnepp: https://twitter.com/JonSchneppnnFollow Ashley: https://twitter.com/AshleyMovannAs the online source for movies, television, breaking news, incisive content, and imminent trends, Collider Videos is more than an essential destination.nVisit Collider: http://collider.comnnFollow them on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ColliderNewsnnSUBSCRIBE TO THE SCHMOES YOUTUBE CHANNEL HERE: https://www.youtube.com/user/schmoesknow Less
