BOX OFFICE: KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE Exceeds Expectations With $35M+ Weekend

Despite being forced to face off against Fifty Shades of Grey this Valentine's Day weekend, Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons' Kingsman: The Secret Service has been a box office hit domestically and overseas. Hit the jump for details...

Fifty Shades of Grey opened this weekend with a three day total of over $81 million despite being torn apart by critics, but moviegoers with taste found refuge with Matthew Vaughn's brilliant Kingsman: The Secret Service. The raunchy adaptation now holds the best Presidents Day weekend opening record of all-time, but Kingsman has still done very well with a  $35.6 million haul way above estimates which had it pegged at debuting with $20 million. It's thought that it will hit $41 million by tomorrow, and it has earned $43.8 million overseas for a worldwide total close to $80 million. What's next for Vaughn? There's been talk of a sequel, but he's also dropped hints about being approached for another big franchise. Marvel Studios' Spider-Man reboot, anyone?

My mom asked me about the Kingsman movie. I told her it's good and said it's basically Tarantino meets Bond meets Men In Black.

She's interested in seeing it. Mostly because she likes Colin Firth.

Never would I have expected her to be interested in it. My mom's thoughts on The Avengers were "reminds me of Fantastic Four movie (yes the 05 film)" and she said The Dark Knight Rises was boring.
