Weekend Box-Office: DUMBO Soars Above US and CAPTAIN MARVEL

Disney's "Dumbo" conquered the weekend box-office, even as Jordan Peele's "Us" and "Captain Marvel" continue to perform well. The film wasn't the huge hit that pundits were predicting, but still managed a solid weekend debut. Meanwhile Pure Flix's anti-abortion drama "Unplanned" overperformed, and Matthew McConaughey's comedy "The Beach Bum" failed to find an audience.
