Last week, The graphic adaptation of the novel Fifty Shades of Grey opened with incredible figures both sides of the Atlantic with $85 million in the US and £13 million in the UK. It seems set for another week of incredible takings but its not thriving as well as expected. Its low takings might be setting up spy thriller Kingsman: The Secret Service for a second week comeback while sequel Hot Tub Time Machine 2, comedy The DUFF and sports drama McFarland USA compete to grace the top five.
US:
- Fifty Shades of Grey – Director: Sam Taylor Johnson – $22.6 million
- Kingsman: The Secret Service – Matthew Vaughn – $18.3 million
- The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water – Paul Tibbitt – $16.6 million
- McFarland USA – Niki Caro – $11 million
- The DUFF – Ari Sandel – $10.8 million
UK:
- Fifty Shades of Grey – Sam Taylor Johnson – £4.6 million
- Big Hero 6 – Don Hall, Chris Williams – £2.6 million
- Shaun the Sheep Movie – Mark Burton, Richard Starzak – £2.4 million
- Kingsman: The Secret Service – Matthew Vaughn – £1.2 million
- The Wedding Ringer – Jeremy Garelick – £1 million
Its been an almost non-mover week besides the low ranking new entries. Despite keeping the number one spot, Fifty Shades has suffered a catastrophic 75% drop. Hot Tub Time Machine two is a dire flop with a mere $6 million in seventh place. This week I’ve scored 2/10
