20th Century Fox’s profane spy flick “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” that has began screening in cinemas will try to push New Line Cinema’s Stephen King adaptation “It” from the top of the charts after two weekends of dominance.
“Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” the $US104‑million sequel to the 2015 hit “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” is expected to gross $40 million to $US45 million this weekend. That would be bigger than the opening of its predecessor, which had a $US36‑million opening.
The big‑budget “Kingsman” series, based on a comic book about a secret organization of British superspies, is proving to be a solid franchise for Fox.
“The Secret Service” ended up with $USD414 million in worldwide receipts and was also a major hit on the home video market.
