Independence Day aliens beaten to the top of U.K. box office by Pets

The Independence Day sequel has taken another major hit at the international box office after failing to top the U.K. and Ireland film countdown upon its release.
The blockbuster has come in second behind animated movie The Secret Life of Pets with a disappointing $6.7 million (GBP5.06 million) – almost half of what the new star-studded family film hauled in over the weekend.
Independence Day: Resurgence also flopped at the U.S. box office, coming in a distant second to another sequel, Finding Dory.
In the U.K. The Conjuring 2, Me Before You and The Nice Guys round out the new top five.
The U.K. box office is set for a big shake-up this weekend (01-03Jul16) with the release of the new Absolutely Fabulous movie. The film is expected to rocket to the top of the countdown and become one of the biggest movie hits this year.
