Horrible Bosses topples the Hunger Games as school holidays kick off

A second dose of Horrible Bosses knocked The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 off the top of the weekend box office, in a more even week at the cinema.

Jason Bateman film Horrible Bosses 2 squeezed ahead on its first weekend taking $1.95m, with The Hunger Games taking $1.781m, taking its total box office in the last four weeks to $28.696m.

Another new release, Paddington, grabbed  $1.398m on the first weekend of school holidays for many, but was only fourth behind last week’s second placed Ridley Scott’s Exodus: Gods and Kings which took $1.607m.
