LOS ANGELES: World War II epic Dunkirk stayed at the top of the North American box office for the second straight weekend, industry data showed Sunday. Another debut movie, action flick Atomic Blonde starring Charlize Theron in the role of agent Lorraine Broughton, took in US$18.5 million as it grabbed fourth place. Overall, it has raked in more than US$278 million in North America. In two weeks it has taken in just US$30.6 million, against the US$180 million it cost to make. The EuropaCorp-financed film starring Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne is the most expensive independent film ever made, with some industry watchers calculating it would have to hit the US$400 million mark worldwide to justify a sequel.
