Having made it five weeks inside the top 5 for the past five weeks, Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman: The Secret Service has passed yet another milestone.
Adding another $6.2 million domestically over the weekend, Kingsman: The Secret Service now now sits on $257.6 million with $107.3 million of that from the US. This makes it the fourth biggest movie of 2014, but with the movie yet to be released in China, it could catch-up with and pass The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water ($270.9 million), which has yet to open in the UK, and Taken 3‘s $289.5 million. But it certainly won’t catch up with Fifty Shades of Grey, which sits on $546.5 million.
Still, this can only be good news for 20th Century Fox and Matthew Vaughn, who had hoped for a sequel to Kingsman: The Secret Service so long as this one delivered at the box office. Having now made over $250 million against an $80 million budget, a sequel could start to look quite likely.
Kingsman: The Secret Service reunites the creative team behind KICK ASS as Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman bring to life Mark Millar’s and Dave Gibbons’ acclaimed comic book. With an all-star cast including Colin Firth, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Caine and newcomer Taron Egerton, 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.
