DC’s Shazam! enjoyed just one week at the top before Disney’s Dumbo flapped back to the top spot for Easter. Old Big Ears continues to do pretty well by Tim Burton standards (he’s flown past both Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and Burton’s unloved Planet of the Apes) but lags some way behind in the Disney remake stakes. In the battle of the new releases, kids’ animation Wonder Park emerged victorious, easily trouncing the Hellboy ‘reboot’, which had to settle for fourth place. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this puts it behind Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy and Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. Despite all that hype, Wild Rose just missed out on a top five placing, but did well enough to open ahead of US comedy Little. Outside the top ten, Jonah Hill’s Mid90s took £100,000 on a limited release.
