Men In Black 3 Beats The Avengers for Top Spot at Memorial Day Weekend Box Office

Will Smith has ended The Avengers' run.

Men In Black 3, Smith's first starring role since 2008, will win the extended Memorial Day Weekend with a projected $75 million take, taking the #1 box office spot away from The Avengers ($45 million).

The Avengers was the top movie for its first three weeks of release, and will cross the $500 million cumulative mark domestically.

Military-oriented Battleship is expected to perform well enough for third place over the holiday with an estimated $13.5 million.

Sacha Baron Cohen's farce The Dictator and nuclear fallout horror flick Chernobyl Diaries are on track to battle for the #4 spot with about $11 million apiece.

Dark Shadows, the latest Johnny Depp-Tim Burton collaboration, is projected for sixth place with roughly $9.5 million, just ahead of pregnancy comedy What to Expect When You're Expecting and elder British actor-packed The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Both of those films are projected for $9 million.

The Top 10 should wrap up with The Hunger Games ($2.5 million in its 10th week of release) and $2 million for Think Like A Man.

Gossip Cop will have updates.
