Hello folks,
We have some new friends that have entered and knocked off Disney’s top position, The Jungle Book now at #2. Make way for, Marvel’s Captain America: Cilvil War – and, I reckon, for awhile.
Stat-wise, it did a remarkable $13 Million and about $8 thousand more than Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Let it also be known there have been many more positive reviews, too!
Sneaking its way in, is Mother Day closing at #4 and Hellen Mirren is still going strong with Eye in the Sky while Chinese comedy, Finding Mr. Right 2 (or Book of Love) has made its way to #8.
Here are the stats:
