Despite a critical snubbing, the clash of cultural titans in Batman v Superman was too much temptation for film fans – it smashed records internationally and locally, taking over $18 million in its first week here / Meanwhile, My Big Fat Greek Weekend 2 did a very respectful $6.3 million in its first week, especially for a 14-years-later comedy sequel / The third Kung Fu Panda opened in 4th spot, with $4.4 million, in the face of stiff competition from Disney’s Zootopia / If 20th Century Fox found that disappointing, they can console themselves with Deadpool‘s whopping total box office gross now topping $42 million after 7 weeks in release.
