Batman v Superman Falls to No. 2 at Box Office, Behind Melissa McCarthy's The Boss

Batman v Superman opened on March 25 and was the No. 1 movie at the box office in the US for its opening weekend and the one following. But its win streak has now ended.

Melissa McCarthy's The Boss opened on Friday and pushed Batman v Superman to No. 2, according to box office numbers today from Deadline. It was a very tight race, as The Boss made $23.48 million this weekend, while Batman v Superman took in $23.435 million.

However, Deadline also mentions that a "rival studio report" shows that The Boss had a wider lead, making closer to $24 million, besting Batman v Superman by $900,000. Still, a close one, for sure.

It's also been reported that Batman v Superman made more money than The Boss on Saturday ($10.7 million compared to $9.7 million), but The Boss opened $2 million stronger for its Friday opening.

Batman v Superman was not going to stay on top forever, especially considering its substantial dropoff between weeks one and two and a middling critical reception. Globally to date, the film has made more than $780 million, according to Box Office Mojo.

In other recent news about Batman v Superman, it's been reported that the film will make a smaller profit than 2013's lower-budget Man of Steel.

Looking ahead, Affleck is signed up to play Batman for Zack Snyder's two upcoming Justice League movies, while the actor is also reportedly working on a "really cool" standalone Batman movie.
