Triumphant Warcraft puts Ninja Turtles in the shadows at UK box office

Half-term crowds help propel family-friendly action-thrillers to the top, as Anthony Hopkins/Al Pacino turkey gobbles up just 97

With an official opening number of 3.62m, Warcraft: The Beginning wins the box-office chart, just ahead of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows on 3.5m. Both are seven-day figures. The films opened on bank holiday Monday last week with the half-term holiday under way. Warcraft's figure includes 2.17m in previews earned on its first four days, while the Turtles picked up 2.02m over the Monday-to-Thursday period.
