US Box Office Weekend 25th August 2017: Hitmans Bodyguard retains the top spot in the worst grossing US chart in many years, Leap was the top new film

ADVERTISMENT
Ballerina
The Hitmans Bodyguard may have retained its hold on the box office but it was the lowest grossing list in the last 16 years.

Grossing a little over $10 million Hitmans Bodyguard raised its gross to nearly $40 million, not really much for a film which has spent 2 weeks at the top.

Highest new film of the week was the animated tale leap (called Balletina in the UK and released at the end of 2016) which grossed just over $5 million and came in at number 3.

Also new this week is Birth of the Dragon which made its debut at number 7 with $2.5 million.

There is little more to say about the US box office this week with little new film released, a big spring event on TV and a major hurricane hitting Texas, people chose to stay away from multiplexes.
