LOS ANGELES: The live action remake of animated-classic “Cinderella” had a nice fit in North American movie theaters, topping the list of estimated weekend ticket sales.

The Disney movie, featuring Lily James as enchanted princess Ella and Cate Blanchett as her cruel stepmother, took in $70 million.

Part of the draw for the critically well-received film was an animated short “Frozen Fever” that was shown with the film, a five minute add-on to another Disney princess smash-hit “Frozen.”

Action flick “Run the Night,” featuring grizzled tough-guy Liam Neeson playing a hit man going up against the mob to protect a son, took second on the charts hauling in an estimated $11 million in its debut weekend.

British spy comedy “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” dropped in sales but moved up a spot in its fourth week in theaters taking in $6.2 million for the third box office spot.

“Focus,” a con-artist flick featuring Will Smith as a crook who takes on a protege played by Margot Robbie had just over 5.8 million in estimated ticket sales for the fourth spot on the chart.

Artificial intelligence thriller “Chappie” had a long fall from its top-spot debut last week, taking in $5.8 million for fourth place despite a $13.3 million showing last week.
