One Direction: This Is Us Tops US Box Office!

One Direction are winning awards, breaking records and topping charts left, right and centre, and heres another one to add to the list, their documentary style movie has topped the US and Canadian box office charts over this weekend!

The film, directed by Morgan Spurlock, which was released only 3 days ago in the USA has already made an incredible $17 million (£10.9 million)! Of course we expected it to well but that's pretty darn amazing in such little time, and a lot of people still haven't seen the film!
The film also topped the combined totals of every prior documentary by Morgan Spurlock on only the day after, as all of his previous films have earned just $12.5…I bet he's pleased!

Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne

The film sits at number once, before Lee Daniels' The Butler coming in at number 2 ($14.7 million) and We're The Millers at number 3 ($12.6 million).

Although the film is doing brilliantly it didn't beat the debut earnings of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, released in 2011, which made a huge $29.5 million in its first weekend.
Miley Cyrus still holds the record for 3D Music Documentary, with her film Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert making $31.1 in its debut. 

BUT with This Is Us only costing $10 million to make and with it earning $14.5 million in countries other than the US and that number expected to continue growing, who really cares? I'm sure everyone is more than happy, and lets not forget it shouldn't just be about the money! Fans are loving getting to experience One Direction in 3D, seeing what they get up to on tour, life with their families, the concerts and just getting to know the boys a little better. As a lot of people have been saying "you can't go into this film and not come out of the cinema being a fan of One Direction".
