Coming in second place at the weekend's box office was the newly released animation 'Mr. Peabody & Sherman', starring the characters Rocky and Bullwinkle and depicts the time-travelling journeys of a dog and his adopted son, which earned $32.5 million.
Following in third position is last week's chart topper 'No-Stop' which raked in $15.4 million in ticket sales, and landing at the 4 spot was 'The Lego Movie', which features the voices of Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman and Chris Pratt, plus many more.
