The film was released as one of the early spring releases on 25th March 2016 where is scored a £14.6 million opening weekend and of course hit the top on its debut.
The incredible hype for the film maybe made the end product a little disappointing as the film only had a chart run of 6 weeks, sinking fast once it left the top.
The film took a UK gross of £36 million, relatively low for a superhero film, and is the 61st highest grossing movie in the UK.
Globally the film took $872.6 million, missing out on the billon mark by quite some margin, and is the 46th highest grossing film across the world.
Disney's Zootopia falls from the top where it debuted to number 2 this week.
Also new this week at number 4 is My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, released the same weekend as Batman V Superman.
Hardcore Henry also makes its video chart debut at number 10.
