Kingsman: The Secret Service ($403,802,136)

Based upon the acclaimed comic book and directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick Ass, X-Men First Class), Kingsman: The Secret Service tells the story of a super-secret spy organization that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency’s ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius.

20th Century Fox’s Kingsman: The Secret Service accomplished its mission of providing great action entertainment to those guys whose girlfriends and wives left them for the evening to go see Fifty Shades, however, the film also pulled in a decent portion of females. The film came in well above its $20M range three-day estimates with $35.6M at 3,204 with a per screen of $11,111 in second.  It is projected to hit $41M through Monday. As Deadline mentioned yesterday, this is the biggest opening for Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth, and it is director Matthew Vaughn’s second biggest B.O. outing after X-Men: First Class ($55.1M). Exit polls indicated that audiences took in Kingsman because of its action genre. Its legs look great. While Kingsman received a B+ Cinemascore (like Taken 3 last month which has a total cume of $86.8M), it earned an A with the under 25ers, and A- with 25-34. Further bolstering Kingsman‘s word of mouth is a Post Track rating of four-and-a-half stars.
