LOS ANGELES, USA (AP) — It took a murderous Idris Elba and a pair of dolphin buddies to defeat Guardians of the Galaxy at movie theatres.
According to studio estimates on Sunday, the Sony thriller No Good Deed, which stars Elba as an escaped convict, topped the box office with US$24.5 million during its opening weekend. Warner Bros’ feel-good film Dolphin Tale 2 debuted in second place with US$16.5 million, while Guardians slipped to third with US$8 million in ticket sales. The marvel space adventure held the No 1 spot for four weeks.
