Furious fowl rule the Box Office
HOLLYWOOD - Moviegoers are flocking to see 'The Angry Birds Movie', which took flight to No. 1 this week, according to studio estimates from comScore.

The family comedy — an adaptation of the popular app game — scored the third-best animated debut of the year. It was enough to knock 'Captain America: Civil War' from its perch, which fell to No. 2.

Opening at No. 3, 'Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising' brought down the house. The R-rated comedy reunites Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne as parents who team up with their former fratboy nemesis (Zac Efron) to take down hard-partying sorority sisters (led by Chloë Grace Moretz).

Bringing up the rear, Shane Black's 'The Nice Guys' was welcomed with a better-than-expected $11.3 million in fourth place. The 1970s noir comedy stars Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe as mismatched detectives and has been embraced by critics (90% positive reviews) as well as moviegoers (84% liked it).

Disney's live-action 'The Jungle Book' rounded out the top five.
