The Jungle Book
There was only one film in contention this week across the globe as Disney's live remake of their classic animation The Jungle Book smashes its way to the top.

A very wide world release in its second week of 50 countries gives the film, directed by Jon Favreau, a fantastic $239.6 million.

Although this is the films second week of global release it was out a week early in some countries, but the full global release mean the film has now made $290.9 million globally.

Falling into second place is Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice, although being considered a disappointment the film has now made a massive $827.3 million, it could still make a billion.

Highest new film is Barbershop: The Next Cut which entered the global box office at number 3, not bad considering the film is only out in America, it takes $20.2 million on its debut.

Highest total grossing film is Zootopia which has a world gross of $882.2 million and is currently at number 4, if the film can hang around until summer it could see a billion.
