The Secret Life of Pets maintained its top spot at the box office, denying the premieres of biographical drama Sully and rom-com Bridget Jones’s Baby the top position.

The Secret Life of Pets debuted at $1.9m last week, and this weekend more than doubled its sales, taking in $4.8m.

Sully, a film starring Tom Hanks as Capt. Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger who made the miraculous emergency landing of a plane on New York’s Hudson River, was second on its first weekend, making $2.6m on 363 screens.
