LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- Disney and Marvel Studios' superhero film "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" topped the North American box office for the second weekend in a row, with an estimated three-day cume of 32.2 million U.S. dollars, showed figures from the measurement firm Comscore on Sunday.

After 10 days on the big screen, the film has grossed 167.3 million dollars in North America, bringing the worldwide total to 364 million dollars.

Directed by Peyton Reed, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" is the sequel to 2015's "Ant-Man" and 2018's "Ant-Man and the Wasp." The film, starring Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly, officially kicks off phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Universal's comedy horror film "Cocaine Bear" opened in second place with 23 million dollars this weekend. Directed by Elizabeth Banks, the film stars Keri Russell, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Christian Convery-Jennings and Alden Ehrenreich among others.

Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner's plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, the film finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a forest, where the bear has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow and blood.

Rounding out the top three, another newcomer, Lionsgate's "Jesus Revolution" took in 15.5 million dollars on its opening weekend.
