Box Office

After taking a brief hiatus from the top of the global charts Disney is back at number one with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

The Fate of the Furious hardly slowed down for its second lap around the planet, taking an extra $202 million in its second weekend. For the whole week, Monday through Sunday, that figure jumps to $476 million and brings this film’s global haul to $908 million dollars in just eleven days.

The Fate of the Furious put the pedal to the metal and burned rubber on six continents with a record breaking $532 million global debut. With $433.

The Boss Baby cleared its balance sheets with a second consecutive chart-topping frame in the North American market, showing again that it has what it takes to steal the floor from Beauty and the Beast. DreamWorks and Fox’s animated infant comedy pulled $26.

DreamWorks and Fox’s The Boss Baby put March monster Beauty and the Beast in the pram this weekend with a big boy $49 million domestic debut. An all star vocal cast made of Alec Baldwin, Jimmy Kimmel, Tobey Maguire, Lisa Kudrow and Steve Buscemi brought this adorable little adventure to life under the direction of Madagascar series helmer Tom McGrath.

Shaking off several new challengers Beauty and the Beast cut down Power Rangers, laughed off Chips, and smothered Life, taking $88 million in its second week in US theatres. Disney’s live action reimagining of its 1991 animated classic reached $690 million worldwide after a $119.

Beauty and the Beast charmed audiences across the world and made a new generation fall in love with Gabrielle de Villeneuve’s classic 18th century fairy tale, with a $357. 1 million global debut.

A powerful roar echoed across the world this weekend as Kong: Skull Island smashed its way into theatres in 66 countries with a $141 million global release. Universal, Legendary and Tencent Pictures’ giant monster thriller found the right mix of action, suspense and old school Hollywood kicks to entice audiences across the globe.

Fox’s Logan tore into the domestic and international markets, taking $85. 3 million at home and $152.

With the Oscars taking place last Sunday, the apparently never-ending awards seasons is now officially over. So, congratulations to Golden Globe and now Academy Award Best Picture winner Moonlight.
