Marvels The Fantastic Four: First Steps held off a potential threat from new comer The Naked Gun~2025 to stay at the top of the UK and Northern Ireland box office for a second weekend.
Despite a 62% drop from last weekend the superhero movie took an exceptable second weekend gross of just over £3 Million giving the movie a total gross of £15.3 Million.
The movie has now taken more that Thor and should overtake Eternals and maybe this years Thunderbolts by next weekend.
The reinvented The Naked Gun~2025 starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson makes its debut at number 2 this weekend with a nice £1.8 Million.
This is very much in the ballpark of the original The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad which took £457,000 on its debut and adjusted for inflation would be nearly £2 Million.

Action man Jason Statham tops the North American box office with A Working Man on its debut weekend of release with a opening gross of $15.5 Million in a weekend full of new releases.
Statham as an action hero is a staple of cinema these days and pulls in good number on debut weekends so next weeks box office will be interesting especially with the new release of A Minecraft Movie.
Falling to number 2 this weekend is Disney's trouble movie Snow White~2024 which for a live action remake is not pulling in the number despite better than expected reviews.
On its second weekend of relese it takes $14.3 Million for a total North American gross of nearly $67 Million - it could hit $100 Million but not a lot more!
The rest of the top 5 was new releases with religious series The Chosen: Last Supper - Part 1 at number 3, horror movie The Woman In the Yard at 4 and mystical drama/horror Death of a Unicorn at 5, perhaps the biggest surprise of the weekend considering the talent of Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd.
