  "account": "Avengers: Endgame reclaimed the North American box office lead this weekend with a strong re-release, taking in an estimated US$26 million. The 2019 superhero film, which has earned a total of US$2.8 billion worldwide, features an ensemble cast including Robert Downey Jr, Josh Brolin and Scarlett Johansson. The re-release precedes the planned December 18 debut of Avengers: Doomsday. Sony's Resident Evil took second place with US$23.3 million in North America, while Paramount's Heart of the Beast opened to US$20 million. Robert Pattinson's Primetime, based on the reality TV show To Catch a Predator, debuted with US$19.2 million. The animated family film Forgotten Island underperformed, earning US$12.8 million for Universal. Industry analyst David A. Gross noted the underperformance of the animation film, despite positive reviews, and expects it to perform better overseas. In the top 10, Practical Magic 2, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey, Coyote vs Acme and Daniel and the Fiery Furnace rounded out the rankings.",
