LOS ANGELES - "Avengers: Infinity War" can check off yet another record: The second-highest second weekend of all time.

Disney and Marvel's latest collaboration earned $112.5 million in its second frame. The 56 percent decline was just enough to top the record previously held by fellow Marvel title "Black Panther," which made $111.6 million in its second weekend.

In just North America, the superhero mashup has made $450.8 million. Among "Infinity War's" numerous accomplishments is being the fastest film to gross $1 billion, in just 11 days. And the film has yet to open in China.

One of three weekend releases opening in "Infinity War's" almighty wake is "Overboard," anchoring in the second spot with a solid $14 million. The MGM and Lionsgate Pantelion remake of Goldie Hawn-Kurt Russell's classic romcom of the same name now stars Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez.

Slipping to No. 3 in its fifth weekend is Paramount Picture's "A Quiet Place." John Krasinski's horror thriller made $7.5 million, bringing its domestic total to an impressive $159.8 million. The third weekend of Amy Schumer's "I Feel Pretty" secured the fourth slot with $4.9 million. Its North American tally currently sits at $37.8 million. Rounding out the top five is Dwayne Johnson's "Rampage." The Warner Bros. film grossed $4.6 million. In four weeks, its domestic total is $84.7 million. - Reuters
