The animation arrived on a confirmed $38.2m from 3,932 theatres, enough to knock Civil War into second place in its third session on $32.9m for $347.2m.

Universal’s comedy sequel Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising debuted at number three on $21.8m from 3,384 sites, a 55.5% fall against the $49m number one debut by the original two years ago (inflation adds a negligible amount).

Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and Rose Byrne reprise their roles as the scheming suburbanites from the original, which ended on $150.2m and $270.7m worldwide.

Warner Bros opened action comedy The Nice Guys starring Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe in fourth place on $11.2m from 2,865. Bloom sold internationally and the film debuted out of competition in Cannes last week. Reviews have been overwhelmingly good.

Money Monster, which also premiered in Cannes, fell three places to number six in its second weekend for $27m via Sony’s TriStar label.

Overall the top 12 films combined for $129.9m, a 4.6% gain on last weekend and an 11.9% drop against the same session in 2015.

This week’s wide release are Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse; and Alice Through The Looking Glass through Buena Vista.
