'Jungle Book' still No. 1

NEW YORK — Disney’s “The Jungle Book” trounced a handful of underperforming new releases to rule the box office for a third consecutive week, while next week’s certain champ, “Captain America: Civil War,” began setting records overseas.

Jon Favreau’s live-action Rudyard Kipling adaptation earned $42.4 million in its third week at North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. One of the year’s biggest hits, “The Jungle Book” has now totaled $684.8 million globally.

Keegen-Michael Key and Jordan Peele’s feline action-comedy “Keanu” opened with a modest $9.4 million. That was a whisker behind “The Huntsman: Winter’s War,” which limped its way to $9.4 million in its second disappointing week of release.

1. “The Jungle Book,” $42.4 million ($57.1 million international).

2. “The Huntsman: Winter’s War,” $9.4 million.

3. “Keanu,” $9.4 million.

4. “Mother’s Day,” $8.3 million.

5. “Barber Shop: The Next Cut,” $6.1 million.

6. “Zootopia,” $5 million.

7. “Ratchet & Clank,” $4.8 million.

8. “The Boss,” $4.2 million.
