  "account": "Marvel's Avengers: Endgame Encore returned to theaters this weekend, securing the top spot at the box office despite having only a few minutes of new footage. The re-release debuted with an impressive $26 million in domestic sales and an additional $60 million internationally. The film's success suggests that the upcoming Marvel movie, Avengers: Doomsday, set to release in December, is likely to be well-received. Resident Evil held the second position, with the Zach Cregger-directed film adding $23 million to its domestic total, crossing the $100 million mark and nearing $200 million worldwide. The Brad Pitt-led thriller, Heart Of The Beast, followed, bringing in $20 million. Primetime and Primetime rounded out the top five, with the latter earning about $19.2 million. The top ten list was compiled by Box Office Mojo.",
  "summary": "The Encore of the 2019 film surpassed $25 million in the U.S. in its first weekend back.",
