While Jordan Peele’s horror film Us stormed to the top of the US box office with a giant $71m debut, Captain Marvel resisted the challenge in the UK, holding on to the summit with third-weekend takings of £3.38m.
While it had to settle for the No 2 spot in the UK, Us gave Captain Marvel a run for its money, debuting with £2.77m.
With £223,000 from 87 cinemas, biographical drama The White Crow has achieved the third-highest site average (£2,526) of any film on release, after Captain Marvel and Us.
Us actually beat Captain Marvel on Friday, but fell behind on Saturday and Sunday.
