The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part

Following in the footsteps of the $250 million grossing The lego Movie the follow up hits cinemas this week with a $35 million debut.

Worryingly this is way lower than the originals nearly $70 million opening and could mean trouble ahead for the brick movie.

The new comedy enters the US box office at number 2 and takes $19 million on its debut.

Cold Persuit
