Box office top 20: ‘Kingsman’ crowned No. 1

Sep 25, 2017 | 3:45 PM

NEW YORK — “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” came in a little shy of expectations but still managed to move New Line’s horror hit “It” off the top spot at the North American box office.

Fox’s spy comedy sequel to 2015’s “Kingsman” debuted with $39 million, according to final figures Monday. The film cost $104 million to make, but improved little on the original’s $36 million opening two years ago.

After two weeks atop the box office, New Line’s “It” slid to second with $29.8 million in its third weekend of release.

Ticket sales were disappointing for Warner Bros.’ “The Lego Ninjago Movie,” which opened with $20.4 million. The release was the second “Lego Movie” spinoff of the year, following “The Lego Batman Movie,” possibly hurting the performance of “Ninjago.”

The top 20 movies at U.S. and Canadian theatres Friday through Sunday, followed by distribution studio, gross, number of theatre locations, average receipts per location, total gross and number of weeks in release, as compiled Monday by comScore.
