LOS ANGELES — Disney's “Dumbo” isn't exactly taking flight at the North American box office the way its other live-action remakes of animated classics have.

The Walt Disney Co. said Sunday that the Tim Burton-directed film has earned an estimated $45 million domestically from 4,259 locations against a $170 million production budget. It's less than half of what “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Jungle Book” and Burton's own “Alice in Wonderland” opened to.

The remake of the 1941 animated film stars Colin Farrell and Danny DeVito. It got mixed to negative reviews from critics and currently has a middling 53 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Audiences who did turn out, however, had a different response than the critics and gave the film an A- overall, according to CinemaScore.

Internationally, “Dumbo” grossed $71 million, with $10.7 million coming from China, $7.4 million from the U.K. and $7.2 million from Mexico.

Disney has two other high-profile live-action remakes coming out this year in “Aladdin” (May 24) and “The Lion King” (July 19).

“I don't think this is a mandate against live-action remakes. But sometimes when you don't have the reviews, it can affect it,” said Paul Dergarabedian, Comscore's senior media analyst. “For Disney, the bar is set so high. This is just a little speed bump on what is already a spectacular year for Disney.”

“Dumbo” did bump Jordan Peele's “Us” to second place. “Us” added $33.6 million, down only 53 percent, bringing its domestic total to $128.2 million in its second week. “Us” cost only $20 million to produce.

Easing the “Dumbo” disappointment, Disney and Marvel's “Captain Marvel” landed in third place in weekend four with an additional $20.5 million. It's now earned over $350 million in North America and is expected to cross the $1 billion mark globally sometime this week.

The teen drama/romance “Five Feet Apart” with Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson took fourth place with $6.3 million, down only 27 percent in its third week.

And the pregnancy movie “Unplanned” rounded out the top five with $6.1 million from only 1,059 theaters. It's another success for Pure Flix, which targets the faith-based audience.

Not so lucky was “The Beach Bum,” a stoner-odyssey starring Matthew McConaughey. It grossed only $1.8 million from 1,100 locations in its first weekend.

1. “Dumbo,” $45 million

2. “Us,” $33.6 million

3. “Captain Marvel,” $20.5 million

4. “Five Feet Apart,” $6.3 million
