Warner Brothers’ new Peter Pan movie starring Hugh Jackman and Amanda Seyfried took more than $2m at the box office over the weekend on 472 screens.

However it was not enough to put Pan on top of the Australian box office, with Everest holding that position claiming $2.21m, having now earned more than $7m in just a fortnight.

Amid the school holidays Columbia Pictures’s sci-fi action comedy Pixels, starring Adam Sandler, also recorded its best result so far taking $2.1m, taking its gross over $8.2m.
