Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk meanwhile slips to four but is still doing good business with another $6,614,385 taken at the box office meaning gross to date figures of $165,422,464.
Whilst Spider-Man: Homecoming refuses to go away having already spent 45 days in the top 10 and gross to date figures of a massive $314,057,748 which should keep Sony happy for a while.
Warner Bros have films in second and fourth places whilst Sony Pictures have three offering occupying sixth, seventh and ninth positions.
