It was not a good week for the newcomers, hampered as they were by having limited screens to compete on against the big titles already on circuit
Local romantic drama Vergeet My Nie did the best, landing at fourth, with a healthy per-screen take which put it at second on that list.
Horror film Fantasy Island had a tougher time on half as many screen, only making it to 7th, while Hollywood crime romance (?) Queen & Slim just made the top 10 at 10.
The other new releases landed outside the top top, with local rom-com Bhai's Café landing at 11, and not-Love-Story Ordinary Love at 15.
