US Top Ten movies
Disney/Pixar's Onward managed to hold on to the top spot, helped by the lacklustre new releases.
The best newcomer was Vin Diesel's comic-book adaptation Bloodshot, which overcame poor reviews to land at second spot, but the takings
were disappointing, at below 10 million.
Religious drama I Still Believe was next, at three, while who-dies-next thriller The Hunt landed at five. It's probably the last week on the
top ten for Bad Boys For Life.

UK Top Ten movies
Onward retained the top spot, following a dismal performance by the new releases as the industry winds down. The best new release was who-dies-next The Hunt,
followed by Vin Diesel's Bloodshot.
Disney's female-friendly Misbehaviour only landed at seven, and much-delayed kiddie comedy My Spy behind it at eight.
