In just 10 days of release, Sam Taylor-Johnson’s adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey has become the most successful film in the U.K. ever with an 18 certificate, which means that no one under 18 can be admitted to a British cinema to see the film.
The erotic drama – which was released in France with a 12 rating – earned $7 million in its second weekend, bringing its U.K. box-office tally so far to $38.7 million, easily surpassing the $34.9 million amassed by previous record holder The Wolf of Wall Street.
