LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Deadpool’s” three-week reign atop the box office has ended thanks to a handful of new openers including “Zootopia” and “London Has Fallen.”

The top spot went to Disney’s “Zootopia” which staged a box office stampede in its first weekend in theaters with an estimated $73.7 million, according to the studio Sunday. It’s the fourth highest March opening ever and a best for Disney Animation.

In second place, “London Has Fallen,” a sequel to the “Die Hard” in the White House “Olympus Has Fallen,” earned $21.7 million.

“Deadpool” fell to third with $16.4 million, bringing its domestic total to a staggering $311.2 million.

The Tina Fey comedy “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot,” meanwhile, debuted in fourth with an estimated $7.6 million. The film cost a reported $35 million to produce.
