NEW YORK (AP) — "The Jungle Book" extended its box-office reign to three weeks, easily besting a handful of newcomers that made little impact.

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele's action comedy debuted with $9.5 million; Garry Marshall's latest holiday-themed romantic comedy "Mother's Day" weakly opened with $8.4 million; and the video-game adaptation "Ratchet & Clank" took in just $4.9 million.
