LOS ANGELES – Fifty Shades of Grey didn’t relinquish control of the box office.
The erotic drama starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan earned $23.2 million at No. 1 in its second weekend at the box office, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Despite the victory, Fifty Shades of Grey plummeted a steep 75 per cent from its record-breaking $93 million debut last weekend.
The action spy film Kingsman: The Secret Service and the family friendly The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water similarly maintained their respective No. 2 and No. 3 spots at the box office in their second weekend.
Kingsman nabbed $17.5 million, while SpongeBob soaked up another $15.5 million.
A trio of newcomers failed to crack the top three.
Cross-country racing tale McFarland, USA launched at No. 4 with $11.3 million. The high school comedy The DUFF debuted at No. 5 with $11 million. Wacky sequel Hot Tub Time Machine 2 opened at No. 7 with $5.8 million.
