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.
