Pictures</div>LOS ANGELES -- The Man of Steel has staying power: &quot;Superman&quot; topped the North American box office for a second week running and surpassed the $400 million mark worldwide, industry estimates showed Sunday.Riding largely positive reviews, the latest big-budget action film featuring the iconic superhero from Warner Bros. and DC Studios earned $57.3 million in the United States and Canada, Exhibitor Relations said.That puts its North American take at $235 million and its international sales at $171 million -- or $406 million globally.&quot;Jurassic World: Rebirth&quot; -- the latest installment in the blockbuster dinosaur saga -- also held its ground in second place at $23.4 million. Its worldwide total stands at $647.2 million.The Universal film, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, takes viewers to an abandoned island research facility, where secrets -- and genetically mutated dinosaurs -- are lurking.&quot;I Know What You Did Last Summer,&quot; a sequel to two 1990s slasher hits that bring back the franchise&#x27;s original stars Freddie Prinze Jr and Jennifer Love Hewitt, opened in third place at a disappointing $13 million.&quot;This is another horror series returning after a long layoff, in this case after 27 years,&quot; said industry analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research.&quot;Generally, the layoffs don&#x27;t bother these films; in fact, they get stronger... that&#x27;s not happening here.&quot;&quot;Smurfs,&quot; the latest film featuring the adorable blue creatures and starring Rihanna as Smurfette, opened in a lackluster fourth place with $11 million in North American ticket sales.&quot;F1: The Movie,&quot; the Apple and Warner Bros. flick starring Brad Pitt as a washed-up Formula One driver who gets one last shot at redemption, finished in fifth place at $9.6 million.&quot;The current lineup in theaters is strong, with a broad selection of big titles including superheroes, action, monsters, horror and animation,&quot; said Gross.&quot;Superman&quot; will soon get a new superhero rival when Marvel&#x27;s hotly anticipated &quot;The Fantastic Four: First Steps&quot; starring Pedro Pascal hits theaters in the coming days.Rounding out the top 10 were:&quot;How to Train Your Dragon&quot; ($5.4 million)&quot;Eddington&quot; ($4.3 million)&quot;Elio&quot; ($2.0 million)&quot;Lilo &amp; Stitch&quot; ($1.5 million)&quot;28 Years Later&quot; ($1.3 million)<div>© Agence France-Presse</div>
