WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Chappie tops the chart with 13.3MM, but that's well below estimates against a 49 million budget.  Will anyone second guess putting Neil Blomkamp in charge of the next Alien sequel?  Focus places with 10MM on a 46 percent drop. This is likely to be Will Smith's worst performing star vehicle. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel shows with 8.6 MM and more than twice as much overseas; it will make a tidy profit against a 20MM budget if it does anywhere near as well as the original. Kingsman: The Secret Service takes the fourth slot with 8.3MM; with almost 250MM worldwide, a sequel is likely.  The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water rounds out the Top Five with another 7MM and is already well into profit.  Below the fold, Fifty Shades of Grey crosses the 500MM mark, while Unfinished Business debuts in tenth with 4.8 million, as Vince Vaughn sinks like Will Smith, only worse.
