'Avatar: Fire and Ash' at number one in N.America for fifth straight week
The third installment in director James Cameron's blockbuster fantasy series took in another $17.2 million from Friday to Monday, when Americans mark Martin Luther King Jr Day.
That put its US and Canadian haul at $367.4 million, and its worldwide total at more than $1.3 billion, according to Exhibitor Relations.
"Fire and Ash" stars Zoe Saldana as Na'vi warrior Neytiri and Sam Worthington as ex-Marine Jake Sully, who must battle a new foe threatening their family's life on the planet Pandora.
It is the fourth Cameron film to pass the $1 billion mark, along with the first two "Avatar" films and "Titanic."
Debuting in second place with a disappointing $15 million was "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," the fourth installment in the zombie horror series, which comes less than a year after the last film.
"Returning after 7 months is quick -- it's too quick, and it's hurting the numbers," Said analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research.
Disney's feel-good animated film "Zootopia 2" showed its staying power, moving up to third place at $12 million over the four-day weekend.
In fourth place at $10.2 million was "The Housemaid," an adaptation of Freida McFadden's best-selling novel about a young woman who is hired by a wealthy couple with dark secrets. Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried star in the Lionsgate release.
"Marty Supreme," starring Oscars frontrunner Timothee Chalamet as a conniving 1950s table tennis player with big dreams, finished in fifth place at $6.7 million.
Rounding out the top 10 are:
"Primate" ($6 million)
"Greenland 2: Migration" ($3.9 million)
"Anaconda" ($3.8 million)
"The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants" ($3.0 million)
"No Other Choice" ($2.7 million)
