Disney's live-action fantasy film "Aladdin" dominated the North American box office with a 3-day 86.1 million U.S. dollar take in its opening weekend.

"Aladdin" is a live-action adaptation of Disney's 1992 animated classic of the same name, which was based on one of the best known Middle-Eastern folk tales in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights.

The film follows Aladdin, a charming street rat, who retrieves a magic lamp from a booby-trapped magic cave and must use it to win over the beautiful and self-determined Princess Jasmine.

Lionsgate action film "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum" moved to second place with an estimated 24 million dollars in its second weekend, pushing its North American total to 101 million dollars.

Directed by Chad Stahelski and starring Keanu Reeves as the titular character, the plot follows super-assassin John Wick who returns with a 14-million-dollar price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail.

Disney and Marvel superhero film "Avengers: Endgame" came in third with an estimated 17 million dollars in its fifth weekend. The film has earned nearly 2.7 billion dollars worldwide.
