BOX OFFICE: X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Is The #1 Movie In The World With An Impressive $100 Million

Captain America: Civil War was knocked from the top spot in North America this weekend by The Angry Birds Movie, bringing in an estimated $33 million compared to that animated feature's $39 million. However, the latter has failed to become the #1 movie in the world this weekend as that title has instead gone to the Bryan Singer helmed X-Men: Apocalypse after it opened in 71 of 75 markets.

With an estimated $103.3 million, the movie is off to a strong start, but with mixed reviews, it will be interesting to see if those have any sort of impact on the movie by the time it reaches North America. So far, fans do seem to be responding well to X-Men: Apocalypse. Regardless, it has yet to open in two other huge territories, including Korea and China, so it's still early days for this one right now.

Of course, $100 million may not sound like much in the grand scheme of things, but that's a great start for the movie, and Fox has broken a number of their own opening weekend records in the process.

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE debuted #1 in 71 of 75 markets-- UK ($10.5M) MEX ($8.6M) BRZ ($6.5M) RUS ($6.4M) FRA ($5.8M) PHIL ($4.9M) OZ ($4.8M)

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR update-- Domestic $347M, Int'l $706M, Worldwide $1.053B.
