That's roughly double what runner up "Iron Man 3" -- the comic book superhero flick featuring Robert Downey Jr., which had topped the box office on its first two weekends in theaters -- made with $35.8 million.
"The Great Gatsby," starring Leonardo DiCaprio in Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of the literary classic, took third place with $23.9 million.
Fourth, and far behind at $3.2 million, was action-comedy "Pain and Gain," about bodybuilders caught up in a botched kidnapping scheme.
Fifth place went to stone-age cartoon "The Croods" at just over $3 million followed by "42" -- a biopic about trailblazing black baseball star Jackie Robinson -- that made $2.8 million.
"Oblivion," the post-apocalyptic action flick featuring Tom Cruise, took seventh place with $2.3 million, trailed by "Mud," a coming-of-age story with Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon, with $2.2 million.
"Peeples" starring Craig Robinson as a boyfriend who initially fails to impress the family of his girlfriend, played by Kerry Washington, came in a close ninth with just under $2.2 million.
Rounding out the top 10 was the star-studded comedy "The Big Wedding" -- featuring Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Diane Keaton and Robin Williams -- at $1.2 million.
