The latest box office report is in, and Pokemon and Avengers dominated. Pokemon: Detective Pikachu opened to a massive $58 million in the US and Canada this weekend, according to a box office report from Entertainment Weekly.

That is a tremendous result, and it’s the biggest opening for a Pokemon movie of all time not adjusted for inflation. It was enormously successful, but it wasn’t enough to take down Avengers: Endgame. The Marvel team-up pulled in $63 million in the US and Canada to stay at No. 1 for a third week running.

Endgame has now made $723.5 million domestically, which is only behind Avatar ($760.5 million) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936.6 million). Worldwide, Endgame has now made $2.485.5 billion, which brings it even closer to reaching Avatar’s all-time record of $2.78 billion.

The new movie about Lord of the Rings author J.R.R. Tolkien also opened this weekend, and it landed at No. 9 with $2.2 million. As EW notes, the film did “modestly well” considering that it only screened at 1,495 locations in the US and Canada. Other new releases this weekend included the Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson comedy The Hustle (No. 3, $13.5 million), and the Diane Keaton movie Poms, which made $5.1 million to come in sixth place this weekend.

You can see the full box office report for May 10-12 below, as compiled by EW.

1. Avengers: Endgame — $63 million

This week is a roller coaster thanks to Rage 2, the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, and a new Bubsy game.

This is a non-spoiler review for all 10 episodes of The Society, which premieres Friday, May 10 on Netflix.

It’s hard to pinpoint which Netflix Originals are going to catch fire and become a one or two week buzz with the streaming crowd, but if you’re a fan of The CW’s The 100 or William Golding’s Lord of the Flies – or even if you just wished CBS’ Under the Dome was good – then The Society is the new “teenagers forced to make really dark and difficult choices” show for you.

Produced by Amazing Spider-Man’s Marc Webb and created by Party of Five’s Christopher Keyser, The Society is part Lost, part Kid Nation, and all disturbing. Admittedly, it has a clunky couple of intro episodes, and from time to time the stale small-town setting can create a feeling of monotony and bloat, but inside it all is a sinister look at what human beings will do when forced to create their own community from scratch.

Warning: full SPOILERS ahead for Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 5 “The Bells”!

Game of Thrones’ Battle of King’s Landing ended up being an entirely one-sided affair as Danerys Targaryen used Drogon to make quick work of the Iron Fleet and the city’s anti-dragon defenses before laying waste to the city and its people — citizen and soldier alike. As the chaos unfolded, several principal characters met their end.

Here’s who died in the episode.

Cersei Lannister

Cersei met her end in the arms of her brother Jamie. The pair tried to escape through Tyrion’s secret passageway, but the exits were all blocked thanks to rubble falling as a result of Danerys’ dragon siege. All of the horrible things Cersei has done have largely been done for her children, so in her final moments she could do nothing but hope for her unborn child to somehow survive. Many fans theorized it would be Arya who would assassinate Cersei when she face-changed her way into striking distance or that it would be Jamie who finally put an end to his sister based on the Valonqar Theory, but in the end it was the cave-in of King’s Landings’ lower levels that finally killed her along with her brother. Though the falling rocks technically killed Cersei, it was Danerys who caused it by savagely attacking King’s Landing in order to get revenge on Cersei both for betraying her and for beheading her best friend and trusted adviser Missandei.

SPOILERS AHEAD for Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 5.

Jaime Lannister spent his final moments holding and comforting Cersei, the woman that meant the most to him, and the scene was a major callback to a previous episode that foreshadowed the deaths of two characters who have been with us since the beginning.

Speaking on HBO’s Inside the Episode for episode 5 of the final season of Game of Thrones, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss discussed how Jaime’s ideal path always had an ending similar to this.

“You know, there’s a scene, several years ago, where Jaime and Bronn are talking about how they wanna go, and Jaime’s talking about dying in the arms of the woman he loves. And this is it.” Benioff explains.

Full SPOILERS ahead for Game of Thrones, Season 8, Episode 5, “The Bells”!

The Mother of Dragons, the daughter of the Mad King, finally went to the dark side on.the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones’ final season, “The Bells”.

Daenerys Targaryen destroyed King’s Landing, killing nearly every man, woman, and child, combatant or not, and unleashing her dragon-son Drogon to utterly level the city in wave after wave of fiery destruction.

Many fans will no doubt be torn by this decision to have a character who had been so beloved by so many at times — a protagonist that people in real life even named their own kids after — committing such atrocities. On HBO’s “Inside the Episode” aftershow, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss explained why Dany did what she did.

Warning: this article contains major spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 5! Consider yourself warned!

Game of Thrones just gave us one of the darkest episodes in the show’s eight-year run, but the ride isn’t over yet. The upcoming series finale may be even darker still, at least if HBO’s new promo teaser is any indication.

Read onto find out what this footage tells us about the show’s final episode and why the cycle of death and misery isn’t over yet.

The Survivors of War

A number of major characters died in Episode 5, but the focus of the promo is instead on those who survived. We can see both Arya Stark and Tyrion Lannister wandering the smoldering ruins of King’s Landing dumbstruck by the pain and suffering around them. Arya saw countless innocent civilians die. Even those she tried to save were just more victims in Dany’s savage conquest. Both characters are clearly disillusioned, and Tyrion has no doubt realized at last that he backed the wrong champion in the Game of Thrones.

The penultimate episode of Game of Thrones aired tonight on HBO, and it might have featured a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo appearance by NFL superstar QB Aaron Rodgers.

Viewers think they spotted Rodgers as a Lannister archer or someone who got torched by a dragon. Here are some screencaps of the supposed cameo in question:

Rodgers himself confirmed a while back that he would appear in the fifth episode of Game of Thrones Season 8, so that might indeed be him. His team, the Green Bay Packers, hyped tonight’s episode with a tweet of its own suggesting Rodgers would have a cameo.

Rodgers would be just the latest celebrity to have a cameo in Game of Thrones Season 8. Country music star Chris Stapleton and his bandmates played White Walkers in Episode 3. Showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff appeared in Episode 4 during the dinner scene.

Previous seasons of Game of Thrones have included cameos by musicians like Sigur Ros, members of Mastodon, and Ed Sheeran.

Game of Thrones comes to an end with next week’s series finale–check out a trailer for Episode 6 here.
