Subject: SpongeBob knocks American Sniper off US box office spot
Written By: Philip Eno on 02/09/15 at 8:11 am
American Sniper has been knocked off the top of the US box office by SpongeBob SquarePants.
The second animated film to be based on the anarchic TV series, it took $56m (£37m) in its opening weekend.
Subtitled Sponge Out of Water, it follows the character as he leaves his home on the ocean floor and attempts to recover a stolen burger recipe,
Clint Eastwood's Navy Seal drama fell to second place after taking $24.2m (£16m) in its fourth week.
Since its release, American Sniper has raked in $282m (£185m). Based on the memoirs of US soldier Chris Kyle, it has received six Oscar nominations, including a best actor nod for Bradley Cooper in the title role.
Jupiter Ascending sold the third most tickets over the weekend, with estimated box office takings of $19m (£12m).
Starring Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis and Eddie Redmayne, the sci-fi blockbuster has received wildly disparate reviews.
The New York Post described it as "an instant candidate for the so-bad-it's-sort-of-great hall of fame", while the Chicago Sun Times called it "a $175 million intergalactic train wreck".
Total film, on the other hand, thought it was "a fun, inventive, visually stunning piece of space opera".
Seventh Son, a 3D fantasy-action film starring Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore, took the fourth spot, earning $7.1m (£4.7m).
Paddington, the film adaptation of the family classic about a bear lost in the big city, came fifth, with $5.4m (£3.5m) in ticket sales.
