HOLLYWOOD - “The Curse of La Llorona” ascended to the top of domestic box office charts this week.

The Easter weekend offerings amassed a combined $112 million in ticket sales, the lowest haul since 2005, according to Comscore.

The decline in sales is likely because the rest of Hollywood avoided opening a big movie ahead of Disney and Marvel’s “Avengers: Endgame,” which is expected to crush records when it debuts on April 26th.

Warner Bros. and New Line claimed the top two spots at the box office as last week’s champ “Shazam!” dropped to second place.

“Breakthrough,” a faith-based film about a parent’s unwavering love for their children, debuted at No. 3.

In fourth place, Disney’s “Captain Marvel” pocketed $9 million in its seventh week in theaters. That bounty puts the female-fronted superhero movie past the $400 million mark in North America.

Universal’s “Little” rounded out the top five.
