Box-Office: FIFTY SHADES OF GREY Plummets But Still No. 1

For a second consecutive week "Fifty Shades of Grey" ranks at the top of the weekend box-office, but the film has registered a heavy blow in the U.S. The film lost a massive 73% in domestic ticket sales compared to last weekend. Still, the overseas gross has now reached $280 million and by adding the domestic numbers, it adds up to over $400 million worldwide, which is obviously a great result for the $40 million project. Last week's "Kingsman: The Secret Service" is still in second place with a 51% drop ($17.5 million) and "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge out of Water"  held its ground in third place with a 50% drop ($15.5 million).

This week's wide releases didn't fare too well. The comedy sequel "Hot Tub Time Machine 2" made a weak $5.8 million debut and ranked seventh, Disney's sports drama "McFarland, USA" starring Kevin Costner opened with $11.3 million in fourth place, and the high-school comedy "The DUFF" followed closely in fifth place with $11 million.

New Wide Releases: "Hot Tub Time Machine 2", "McFarland USA", "The DUFF".

Biggest Drop : "Fifty Shades of Grey" (-72.7%)

Smallest Drop : "The Imitation Game" (-26%)
