Box Office Top 20: 'Avengers': Age of Ultron' ices Witherspoon, Vergara comedy 'Hot Pursuit'

LOS ANGELES — "Hot Pursuit" came out of the gates cold in its first weekend in theaters, earning only $13.9 million and a distant second place spot on the charts, according to final numbers Monday. The Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara buddy comedy was very poorly received by critics, which may have contributed to its lower-than-expected performance.

Claiming the top spot for the second weekend in a row was Marvel and Disney's "Avengers: Age of Ultron." The super sequel earned $77.7 million in its second weekend in release, bringing its domestic total to a mighty $313.4 million.

But it might be "Ultron's" last weekend at No. 1, as both "Mad Max: Fury Road" and "Pitch Perfect 2" open this week.
