"Both newcomers performed to expectations but had to compete in a marketplace totally dominated by 'Black Panther,'" Dergarabedian said.
The totals come on a weekend when all industry eyes are on the Academy Awards, which will be handed out in Hollywood later Sunday.
None of the major nominees remain in the box office top 10, though some continue to bring in receipts. "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" reached $52 million domestically through Sunday, and "The Shape of Water" passed $57 million.
"Black Panther," directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan, has become a groundbreaking cinematic phenomenon, giving unprecedented representation for a film of its kind to Africans and African-Americans while winning over every corner of the culture. It should soon shoot past the bill...
Wakanda's king may finally be knocked from his box-office throne next weekend with the release of director Ava DuVernay's "A Wrinkle in Time," another Disney film that gives groundbreaking representation to African-Americans on both sides of the camera.
"Disney wins no matter how you slice it with that film expected to have a strong debut as 'Black Panther' continues to draw big crowds," Dergarabedian said.
1. "Black Panther," $65.7 million.
2. "Red Sparrow," $17 million.
3. "Death Wish," $13 million.
4. "Game Night," $10.7 million.
5. "Peter Rabbit," $10 million.
7. "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle," $4.5 million.
8. "Fifty Shades Freed," $3.3 million.

A GADGET for your bath claims to catch"'every hair, every time" - putting an end to the nasty job of unclogging your plughole.
Anyone with kids, or long hair, will know how grim it is fishing hair out of your plug hole, and how expensive a blocked drain can be.
But a £12.99 'TubShroom' could spell the end of the task no one wants to do.
Named as one of Amazon's Choice products, it's received 11,310 five-stair reviews, with people claiming it's revolutionised their cleaning.
Coming in five colours, clean white, marine blue, neutral grey, organic green and autumn orange, makers says it's the "hero you need".
The website says: "TubShroom is a bathtub hair stopper fits snug inside your shower tub drain, effortlessly gathering each and every hair that tries to make its way down your vulnerable drain.
"No more exorbitant bills from the plumber and no more having to use harmful chemical-based drain cleaners that damage your pipes.
"Hair collects neatly inside the drain around the bottom lip - completely out of sight - until you're ready to clean it off.
"A drain that has TubShroom in place can go weeks without having to be cleaned.
"Say good-bye to harmful cleaners, pricey plumbers, and clogged drains forever. Get back to enjoying your showers in peace."
It works on pet hairs as well as human, so you can scrub your dog in the tub without the messy cleanup afterwards.
Raving about the gadget, one person said: "AMAZING! A must have for families with long shedding hair!!
"Once a month I used to have to use chemicals to declog our shower drain as the amount of hair coming from my long hair and my teenage daughters made it so the shower would clog up and provide us with three to four inches of standing water."
Another person said: "This thing is amazing! It fit into my standard drain perfectly, and I don't think a single hair slipped by it.
"It was pretty gross to see how much hair I lost in just one shower, but it was comforting to know it wasn't clogging my drain."
A third commented: "The tubshroom is probably the best product to catch hair in the shower.
"So much easier than sticking something down the drain to get the hair out or constantly pouring a drain cleaner or whatever."
While this person said: "Good lord I am a shedder. This product does a great job of catching my hair.
"Removing hair from it and putting it in the trash can is easy but not pleasant."

When we talk about Jacqueline Fernandez, the first thing that comes to our mind is how she is sunshine personified. From her gorgeous bubbly laughter to her effervescent personality, the former winner of the Miss Universe Sri Lanka pageant is crackling fire and a fresh breath of air, all rolled into one.
The Sri Lankan-born-Indian actress has a way of winning hearts with her infectious smile and svelte figure. If you scroll through her Instagram account, you will realise how this beauty can give anyone a run for the money with her super-fit physique.
Last seen in the movie Judwaa 2, the jolly actress is also known for her lustrous mane and incredibly glowing skin. We caught the gorgeous star in the capital recently and she let us know about the secret fitness mantras behind her hot bod!
1. What is the first thing that you do when you wake up?
The first thing that I do when I wake up is to have warm water. I have a litre of water. Then, I have a glass of green juice.
2. What do you do to maintain your luscious mane and glowing skin?
I think it is a combination of raw juices, healthy food and exercise.
3. What is your workout routine like?
To be really honest, I have probably gone through every single workout. As important as weight training and pilates are, but one thing that I have found to be super anti-ageing and just unbelievable for my body and soul is yoga.
I have got back to it now because this is something which honestly makes me feel so much better as a person, so much lighter and more energetic. This is why I feel that yoga is probably the exercise for me.
4. You are sunshine personified! How do you do that?
You gotta be healthy and you also need to have a very short memory. A lot of people tell me that no, how can you forget or how can you let that slip? But honestly, the more you hold onto things in life, like negative thoughts and bad thoughts, it bogs you down. There are things that you cannot control, people doing thi...
5. What is the healthiest food item in your bag right now?
I do have a bottle of juice. They are in my car, in my fridge and in my bag. It takes away the temptation of eating anything unhealthy. Also, vitamin C is one of the best things that you can do for your skin. So, I know that if I have forgotten it, it is there in my bag. Antioxidants are the best things as well that yo...
6. Why do you think that the cold-pressed juices are better than the regular ones?
I think a lot of people do not understand the meaning of a cold-pressed juice. Cold-pressed juice is probably healthier than the juice you make it home because when you make juices at home in juicers, they actually heat the fruit as you are making it.
But with cold-pressed, the technology is such that there is no heat involved at all. The juice is actually extracted from the fruit, so all the nutrients actually stay intact.
When you make a juice at home, you don’t realise that you have probably killed most of the nutrients, before you have even drunk it.

With his healthcare overhaul now enshrined in law, President Obama warned Republicans Thursday that any attempt to repeal the measure would backfire and that Americans will quickly see that the new package of medical benefits they receive will not usher in "Armageddon."
Obama returned to the city where he first laid out his healthcare proposal as a candidate for president nearly three years ago, the first stop in an aggressive White House push to defend a plan that is likely to be a focal point of the midterm elections in November.
Some Republicans have said they will campaign on a promise to repeal the bill, which the president signed into law Tuesday. In a gust of election-year bravado, Obama dared them to try it. Meanwhile, the Senate approved a second healthcare reconciliation bill today and returned it to the House for a final vote.
"They're actually going to run on a platform of repeal in November," said Obama, appearing before 3,000 people at the University of Iowa fieldhouse. "And my attitude is, go for it! If these congressmen in Washington want to come here in Iowa and tell small-business owners that they plan to take away their tax credits a...
The president was heckled at one point by a man in the crowd who said the bill should have gone further and included a "public option" -- a government-run program that would compete with private insurance plans.
"That's not in it," Obama said.
"Why not?" came the reply.
"Because we couldn't get it through Congress, that's why," Obama said, adding: "There's no need to shout, young man."
After the bill passed, certain Democratic lawmakers were targets of vandalism and threats. Emotions are still raw. A few dozen protesters gathered outside the fieldhouse carrying signs that read, "Can We Impeach Yet?" and "Dictator Obama."
Speaking without his suit jacket, Obama suggested that opposition springs from "fear-mongering and plenty of overheated rhetoric."
He added: "You turn on the news, you'll see the same folks are still shouting about how it's going to be the end of the world because this bill passed. . . . Leaders of the Republican Party, they called the passage of this bill 'Armageddon.' Armageddon! End of freedom as we know it! So after I signed the bill I looked ...
Obama's road show is an attempt to reshape public perceptions, creating a more favorable climate for some Democratic candidates who cast votes that proved unpopular with constituents.
In the run-up to the pivotal House vote on Sunday, polls showed most people disliked the legislation. Those numbers may be turning around. A new Gallup poll shows that by a 9 percentage point margin, more people believed passage of the bill to be "a good thing" than not.
In his speech, Obama sought to temper expectations. Healthcare costs won't drop right away, he said, reminding listeners that the plan will be phased in over four years.
"There are still going to be aspects of the healthcare system that are very frustrating over the next several years," he said. "But we have built into law all sort of measures . . . so that over time Americans are going to save money."
The bill that Obama signed into law this week differs in some respects from what candidate Obama promised. In his speech in Iowa City on May 29, 2007, Obama said his healthcare proposal would provide "universal" coverage.
It will fall short of that goal. In an analysis, the Congressional Budget Office said the new law will cover 94% of non-elderly Americans by 2019, excluding illegal immigrants. Today, about 83% are covered.
But Obama said the changes are a vast improvement over the current system.
The law, he said, "finally tells the insurance companies that in exchange for all the new customers they're about to get, they've got to start playing by a new set of rules that treats everybody honestly and treats everybody fairly. The days of the insurance industry running roughshod over the American people are over....
Outside the fieldhouse, Mike Moehlenhof, a 24-year-old college student majoring in accounting, carried a "tea party" sign. Asked about the new law, he said he was displeased that it contains a "public option." Told that it does not, he said he wasn't convinced.
"It's a major expenditure that for me as a young man, I'll have to pay for for the rest of my life," Moehlenhof said.
JERUSALEM—Israeli President Shimon Peres has made Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty an offer he can't refuse.
In an extraordinary one-hour meeting, which was open to the media travelling with McGuinty, the Nobel Prize-winning Peres asked Ontario to partner with Israel on leading-edge brain research.
“I would like to suggest to you something that doesn't exist between countries,” the Israeli head of state told the premier at Beit Hanassi, the presidential palace here.
“Let's make as a start a virtual research institute between Toronto ... Ontario and Israel,” said Peres, whose passion for aviation, agriculture and nanotechnology has vaulted Israel into the forefront of those fields.
“We should have a small secretariat. There will be a group of scientists ... not an administration. It would finance ideas, it would get financing and the fruits would be sweet,” Peres said, recommending it be funded by the private sector.
McGuinty, who later admitted Peres' proposal came as “a complete surprise,” flashed a grin as the two men sat with their officials.
“You don't waste any time, do you?” said the premier.
Peres noted “people were laughing” six or seven years ago when he launched a similar initiative to promote nanotechnology in Israel, which now has a thriving industry studying engineering on a molecular and atomic scale.
“As a result of it we collected $500 million that was given to universities and research institutes and today Israel has (a booming nanotech sector,)” he said.
Sounding more like a philosopher king than a politician who was twice Israel's prime minister, Peres predicted the study of the brain would provide the great scientific breakthroughs of the 21st century, potentially helping everyone from Alzheimer's patients to the clinically depressed.
Peres stressed that scientists pooling their knowledge is the way to go in this day and age.
“The speed of things is becoming so high, the distances between countries is becoming low.
“And innovation is the real story,” he said, touting the economic benefits of commercializing research.
McGuinty, who is leading a delegation to promote the province's life sciences industry, said Ontarians should be “flattered to receive that kind of an offer” from Peres.
“This is ... what's globally known as a start-up nation.
“They're at the cutting edge of so much in terms of innovation and research and the president has said we'd like to partner with Ontario scientists so I think that's a real compliment,” he said, pointing out his officials have started working on Peres' suggestion.
“I was impressed by this 87-year-old president who has the mind of a 27-year-old.
Philanthropist Larry Tanenbaum, chair of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment who attended the McGuinty-Peres summit, agreed the joint initiative is a good one.
Tanenbaum, who donated $25 million to Mount Sinai Hospital in 2006, said he would “absolutely” be willing to help bankroll any new collaboration on brain research.
He noted the study of the brain only receives 10 per cent of the funding that goes toward cancer or cardiac research.
Also on Sunday, McGuinty visted the Yad Vashem museum of the Holocaust, which was designed by Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Safdie.
