″ was victorious again at the domestic box office, adding $60.5 million in its second weekend of release.

That’s at least partially the reason that Disney needs the $250 million-budgeted “Guardians 3” to remain steady, especially as summer blockbuster season revs into high gear with “Fast X” on May 19 and “The Little Mermaid” on May 26. So far, the third and final installment in the James Gunn-directed Marvel trilogy has generated $213 million in North America and $528 million globally.

Critics weren’t totally charmed by “Book Club 2,” which reunites the core group of readers in Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen, and neither were audiences, who saddled the film with a “B” CinemaScore. The $20 million-budgeted follow up film faces tougher theatrical landscape than the original, which opened to $14 million and enjoyed a long life in theaters.

“Book Club 2” landed in third place behind “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” which scored a remarkable $13 million from 3,800 venues in its sixth weekend of release. The animated video game adaptation has grossed $536 million in North America and $1.2 billion globally.
