Jonah Hill's new entry War Dogs debuts at number 3


Suicide Squad has won the US box office AGAIN, making it three weeks at number one.

Jared Leto's DC movie might not be a hit with the critics, but it's a smash with US theatre goers, taking another $20m this week to take its total takings to $262m.

Seth Rogen's animated comedy Sausage Party just missed out on the top spot, and stays at 2 after taking $15m in its second week.

Before you start thinking we could have just republished last week's article though, there's plenty of change in this week's top ten, with Jonah Hill and Miles Teller's new comedy-drama War Dogs arriving at 3, and Kubo and the Two Strings landing at 4 with $12.6m.

The remake of the epic drama Ben-Hur is also new this week at 5, while Disney's latest reboot Pete's Dragon is down to six.

Mila Kunis' comedy Bad Moms moves down to 7, and Jason Bourne is close on its heels with $7.9m at 8.

Finally, The Secret Life of Pets drops slightly to 9 and Meryl Streep's biopic Florence Foster Jenkins rounds out the top ten with $4.3m.

The top ten in full is as follows:

1. (1) Suicide Squad - $20,710,000

2. (2) Sausage Party - $15,325,000

3. (-) War Dogs - $14,300,000

4. (-) Kubu and the Two Strings - $12,610,000

5. (-) Ben-Hur - $11,350,000

6. (3) Pete's Dragon - $11,331,000

7. (5) Bad Moms - $8,068,000

8. (4) Jason Bourne - $7,980,000
