Captain America puts Angry Birds to flight at UK box office

Disney Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War resisted the challenge of Sony Animation’s The Angry Birds Movie, hanging on to the top spot for the third week, and with a decent 42% decline.

Civil War is the fourth 2016 release to cross £30m here, following Deadpool, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and The Jungle Book.

Civil War is just behind the pace of Batman v Superman, which stood at £33.3m at the same stage of its run.
