The movie, which pits two iconic superheroes against one other, earned $52.4 million in its second weekend, according to estimates from industry tracker Exhibitor Relations. 

In its debut weekend, it raked in a whopping $166 million despite a number of negative reviews.

Starring Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill in the role of Superman, the characters  first big-screen pairing sets up the coming "Justice League" and "Wonder Woman" movies.

A stellar cast for the Warner Bros blockbuster also features former Miss Israel Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jesse Eisenberg as the eccentric villain Lex Luthor and Amy Adams as Superman s love interest Lois Lane.

Animated Disney film "Zootopia" about an intrepid rabbit police officer who works with a fox to solve a crime in the Zootopia animal kingdom was in second place for a second week, earning $20.0 million.

Comedy sequel "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2" which reunites the main cast from the 2002 sleeper hit of the same name, earned $11.1 million, landing in third.

Debuting in fourth was another sequel "God s Not Dead 2," about a public school teacher who answers a student s question about Jesus and finds herself in hot water with the law. It raked in $8.1 million.

Landing in fifth was "Miracles from Heaven," a drama about a young girl suffering from a rare digestive disorder who finds herself miraculously cured. The movie took in $7.6 million.
