A femme-fueled comedy beat a superhero blockbuster at the box office this weekend. After holding the top position for three weeks, ‘‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’’ has been topped by ‘‘The Other Woman’’ for the No. 1 spot. Fox’s revenge comedy, starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton, debuted with $24.7 million, while Disney-Marvel’s ‘‘Captain America,’’ led by Chris Evans, grossed $16 million in its fourth weekend, bringing its domestic total to $225 million. Sony’s faith-based ‘‘Heaven Is for Real,’’ starring Greg Kinnear, held the third-place position with $13.8 million after opening in the same slot last weekend behind leaders ‘‘Captain America’’ and Fox’s animated ‘‘Rio 2,’’ which drifted down to fourth place with $13.7 million.

China streaming ban
Chinese authorities have ordered video streaming websites in the country to stop showing four American television shows, including ‘‘The Big Bang Theory’’ and ‘‘The Good Wife,’’ representatives from two sites said Sunday. The move suggests government attention is intensifying on the online streaming industry, which is freer than state television and China’s cinemas to show foreign productions and other content and has stretched the boundaries of what can be seen in the country. A spokeswoman for a leading online video site, Youku, said it had received notification not to show ‘‘The Big Bang Theory,’’ ‘‘The Good Wife,’’ ‘‘NCIS,’’ and ‘‘The Practice.’’ (AP)
