Well, the inevitable finally happened, as a movie managed to knock "The Avengers" out of the top spot at the box office — and that movie was the long-delayed Will Smith blockbuster "Men in Black 3," which earned a so-so $56 million over its opening weekend.

Don't cry too much for "The Avengers," though, because according to Film.com, the Disney/Marvel powerhouse still came in second with an estimated $38 million. That brings its domestic total to an amazing $523.8 million, making it the fastest movie to cross the $500 million mark in Hollywood history.

For a full rundown on the holiday weekend's box office figures, including numbers for the anemic "Battleship" and the new horror film "The Chernobyl Diaries," head to Film.com.
