Coming in second place is the Bradley Cooper helmed adaptation ‘A Star is Born’, which sees Lady Gaga making her feature film debut as a singer trying to make it to the big time. The film took in $41.3 million this weekend. ‘Smallfoot’, a role reversal animation where yetis discover a human being, comes in at third with a further $14.9 million.
