US Top Ten movies
Buoyed by two Golden Globe wins, 1917 exceeded expectations and nabbed the top spot this weekend.
Of the other new releases, female-friendly adult comedy Like a Boss did the best, landing at 4, just ahead of Oscar-hopeful-in-vain Just Mercy, which went on wide release.
Teen horrer thriller Underwater sank with 7 million, at number 7. Unlucky 7.

UK Top Ten movies
There was only one new entry this weekend, the World War I epic 1917, which went straight to number 1.
Curiously, some titles like Little Women moved up the ladder, perhaps boosted by unwanted free publicity from the Social Justice Warriors.
