Getting third is THE BATMAN with $11.2 million for Warner Bros. Its domestic run has brought it to $349.2 million.

Fourth is UNCHARTED with $3.7 million for Sony Pictures, a total $138.7 million. This has just been announced for an April 26th Digital release and May 10th DVD/Blu-ray release.

RRR – RISE ROAR REVOLT rounds things out with $1.5 million, a two week total of $12.4 million for Sarigama Cinemas.
