Despite getting very mixed reviews from critics and suffering a hefty 66% drop from its opening weekend, Fifty Shades of Grey has managed to stay at the top of the chart and has also become the highest grossing 18-rated film of all time, bypassing The Wolf of Wall Street, and it managed it in only ten days.
There was a couple of new films that managed to creep into the chart too; firstly, going in at a low number six was teen Sci-Fi action film project Almanac, the highest new entry went to comedy The Wedding Ringer which went in at number five.
Upcoming – It’s not a big week for new films, however a few of them will be trying their best to crack into the top ten, on offer is comedy sequel Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, thriller starring Jennifer Lopez in The Boy Next Door, Will Smith stars in witty thriller Focus and there’s indie horror with It Follows.
