Following its record-breaking opening, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast continues to pack ’em in. Emma Watson and her beastly chum hauled in an extraordinary additional £12m to enjoy the third-biggest second weekend of all time, behind Bond flicks Skyfall and Spectre. The film is now up to nearly £40m in just two weeks. It also took just 10 days to overtake La La Land to become the biggest box office hit of 2017. The rebooted Power Rangers struggled a bit in the heat of this competition, but still managed to bag second place and did considerably better than rival new releases Life and The Lost City of Z, as smart horror flick Get Out remains the adult multiplex punters’ entertainment of choice. Unsurprisingly, the big loser was the film version of CHiPs – the old US TV cop show that everybody’s forgotten – if, indeed, they saw it in the first place.
