With no big new films released this week in America it gave the hit film Crazy Rich Asians another week at the top of the box office with highest new film The Happytime Murders coming in at 3.

A second weekend gross of $25 million was enough to keep the comedy on top which brings the films total gross after 10 days of release to $76.8 million.

The film has been released during a quiet period which has meant that it has little competition, but despite that the film is performing far better than expected.

The Meg which has also done far better than expected is at number 2 again this week with a weekend gross of $13 million, this brings the films total gross to $105 million.

Highest new film of the week is The Happytime Murders which is new at 3 this week with a debut weekend gross of $10 million.

Directed by Brian Hanson and starring Mellisa McArthy this muppet inspired film had not performed as well as expected maybe due to the lackluster reviews it has received.

Mission: Impossible Fallout continues its good summer run with a $8 million weekend to boost its total to $193 million and Christopher Robin falls to 5 with $6.3 million for a $77.6 million total.

The highest total grossing film on the US box office this week is Mission:Impossible Fallout which should break $200 million US gross by next weekend.

The Happytime Murders is directed by Brian Henson and stars Melissa McCarthy as a cop working in a world where Muppets are real.

The film has been given a 15 certificate in the UK by the BBFC for strong sex references, language.

The Happytime Murders has a release date in the UK of 27th August 2018.
