Julia Roberts and George Clooney in Money Monster.
eOne's Now You See Me 2 and Jodie Foster's Money Monster were top of the pops at the box office last week, beating out the likes of Alice Through the Looking Glass and X-Men: Apocalypse.
Now You See Me 2 rang up $2.9 million, opening on 250 screens, while George Clooney-Julia Roberts starrer Money Monster debuted on 251 screens and took $2.2 million.
In its second week, Disney's lacklustre Alice Through the Looking Glass dropped thirty-four percent to take $1.9 million over the weekend, bringing the film's cume to $5.8 million.
Fox's latest X-Men installment dropped forty-seven percent in its third week of release, making $1.5 million over the weekend off 283 screens. The film, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and Oscar Isaac, is now sitting on $13.2 million overall.
In their respective second weeks, Shane Black's The Nice Guys and Taika Waititi's Hunt for the Wilderpeople were neck and neck, with The Nice Guys dropping thirty-six percent to notch close to $1.3 million over the weekend (and $3.8 million overall).
Madman's Hunt for the Wilderpeople made $1.1 million Thursday to Saturday, but did better in its second week than its first, jumping four percentage points (making it the only holdover in the top ten without a drop – an encouraging sign for Madman).
The Angry Birds Movie, meanwhile, dropped only twelve percent and has racked up $7.8 million in four weeks, while Captain America: Civil War has made $33.2 million in six, pulling in $475,500 over the weekend.
Disney's The Jungle Book has been in release for eight weeks and is still hanging around the top ten, making $233,514 over the weekend and sitting on $29.4 million overall.
Squeezing in at number ten is Hindi comedy Housefull 3, which debuted on 32 screens and pulled in $227,931.
Among other debutants, Transmission's Gertrude Bell biopic Queen of the Desert took $105,396 from 71 screens off the back of withering reviews.
Jen Peedom's Sherpa and Matt Saville's A Month of Sundays are still hanging around, and have taken $1.2 million (after ten weeks) and $734,603 (after six) respectively.
