The Secret Life of Pets continues to hold on to the top spot, fighting off Miss Peregrine and The Magnificent Seven.
Local action in the top ten is now limited Chasing Great and some solid supporting performances and locations in Pete’s Dragon. Further down the ladder indie This Giant Papier Mache Boulder Is Actually Really Heavy puts in an appearance and the numbers for The Rehearsal continue to disappoint.
