Knocking the box office giant off of its top spot perch, "Men In Black III" grabbed the number one position to begin the Memorial Day holiday weekend of May 25-28, 2012.
The Will Smith/Tommy Lee Jones starring sequel to the popular Sci-Fi franchise nabbed $18 million on opening day while estimated to pull in $75 million over the four day weekend.
Slipping to the runner-up slot for the first time since being released a month ago, the Joss Whedon directed superhero blockbuster "The Avengers" starring Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth ended up with $9.7 million on Friday while pacing towards another $45 million over the long weekend to put its domestic grand total earnings at a whopping $523.5 million.
Rounding out the top five at the box office in estimated totals are a tie between the newly released Bradley Parker directed horror film "Chernobyl Diaries" ($11.5 million) and the Alexander Skarsgard, Rihanna, Taylor Kitsch and Brooklyn Decker fronted Hasbro game based caper "Battleship" ($11.5 million), followed by the Sacha Baron Cohen helmed comedy "The Dictator" ($11.4 million).
