Following is Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, making its debut at number two. In just one week, this animated adventure has captured the attention of audiences, clocking in at 20.3 million hours viewed with its humour and heart.
At the third spot is another animated film, Leo. Directed by Robert Marianetti, Robert Smigel and David Wachtenheim, the film features the voices of Adam Sandler and Bill Burr as they play fifth-grade class pets Leo, a tuatara and Squirtle, a turtle.
