Julian Assange movie Fifth Estate is box office flop

The Fifth Estate, starring Benedict Cumberbatch (pictured), charts the story of the controversial whistleblowing website, but Assange has branded it “inaccurate” and predicted it would fail to impress viewers – and he has been proved right.

The movie has been left languishing in a lowly sixth position, behind five movies which have been showing for weeks.

Thriller film Prisoners, starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal, remains in the top spot after taking £1m in ticket sales, ahead of musical movie Sunshine On Leith, which settles in second place after making £740,000) in its second weekend.

Woody Allen’s comedy Blue Jasmine recaptures third place, with £645k, while James McAvoy’s British crime drama Filth slips from second to fourth, with £644k.

Motor racing movie Rush manages to stay in the top five for a fifth week running after taking £544k in ticket sales.
