Since the beginning of May, the yearly box office has seen some improvement, closing the gap compared to 2018 by a couple percentage points to where 2019 is currently trailing by about -9%. This weekend we're we're coming off a strong debut for Detective Pikachu last weekend, while Disney's Avengers: Endgame looks to top Avatar in the domestic record books and the highly anticipated debut of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum arrives, and yet the weekend overall won't be able to keep up with the same weekend last year, which saw the top ten deliver over $200 million thanks to the release of Aladdin 2019. This weekend will also see the release of Aladdin from Universal along with WB's release of the romantic drama The Sun is also a Star, neither of which are expected to outperform their expectations.
