The Weekend Round-up

With no major family film released until The Angry Birds Movie on 13 May, it has a great chance of overtaking Deadpool’s £37.8m to become the highest grossing film of 2016 to date. 38.3% of The Jungle Book’s box office was from 3D presentations, which is very high for a family film.
