Bohemian Rhapsody opened in the US at the weekend with a muscular $51m.
Remaining in second place for its fifth weekend, A Star Is Born now stands at £22.9m.
Dropping just 11% from its opening session, Bohemian Rhapsody delivered chart-topping, second-weekend earnings of £5.75m, taking its total after 12 days to a stunning £20.4m.
A classic example was Aardman Animation’s Arthur Christmas, which was released on 11 November 2013, beginning with a so-so £2.11m.
