It looks as though America can’t get enough of Fifty Shades of Grey as the steamy movie, based on the massively popular book franchise by author E.L. James, dominates the competition to remain in the top spot at this weekend’s box office.
Though dropping off substantially from last week’s record-breaking opening weekend, Shades managed to bring in an additional $23 million to help it break the $100 million mark. Kingsman: The Secret Service and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water held on to their positions from last week bringing in $17.5 million and $15.5 million, respectively. Rounding out the top five were two newbies: Kevin Costner’s feel-good story McFarland, USA opened at No. 4 pulling in $11.3 million and high school dramaedy The DUFF rounded out the top five opening with $11 million.
