Disney had to finally relinquish its 4 week/2 film hold of the box office in favour of Sony's catapulting birds in search of their eggs which debuted to the tune of $39 million.
Not a bad debut and looking forward the film could do well with the summer vacation in the UK kicking in within the coming weeks.
Captain America: Civil War falls from the top after just 2 weeks but it has taken an excellent £347.3 million after a $33 million 3rd weekend gross.
Captain America is now actually the top total grossing film on the box office this weekend.
Also making debuts are: Bad Neighbours 2 (or Neighbors 2 to give it an American title) at number 3 and The Nice Guys at number 4.
