The Wolf of Wall Street has dominated cinema on its opening weekend taking more than $5m, more than the next three films combined.
The three-hour long Roadshow film which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as controversial New York trader Jordan Belfort who made and lost a fortune in the 80s and 90s, took $5.137m in its opening weekend across 325 screens.
It’s nearest contender was Disney’s Frozen, which opened on Boxing Day took $2.097m, taking its total to $31.67m across the school holidays, while The Book Thief took $1.496m and Saving Mr Banks $1.409m over the long weekend.
The latest in the horror series Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones also opened last Thursday and sat in fifth spot with $1.392m across 206 screens, ahead of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit with $1.001m and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug which posted $896,674, taking its total earnings to $36.586m in just over a month since opening.
