Marvel Studios' latest film, "Thunderbolts" had a solid opening weekend as the box office continues to soar past the doldrums of the first quarter.

Memorial Day weekend typically sets the standard for summer box office sales, and the successful opening for “Thunderbolts*” is the start of an impressive holiday box office, experts say.

Sony’s R-rated horror film “Until Dawn” remained in the No. 5 spot with $3.8 million from 3,055 venues, down 53% from its opening weekend. The ultra-gory survival thriller, which cost $15 million, has amassed $14.3 million in North America and $34.7 million globally.
