Newly released "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2" collected USD23.7 million, placing second on the weekend box office chart.

"Kanchana 2", sequel to 2011's "Kanchana", performed well at the box office.

Over in Malaysia, Dom Toretto still dominates with his "Fast and Furious 7" crew. Second place is won over by new Tamil horror comedy, "Kanchana 2", while Adam Sandler's "The Cobbler" strutted up a spot to number three.

Meanwhile in Singapore, "Fast and Furious 7" of course still holds on fast to first place. Two new releases, Tom Hardy's "Child 44" and Tony Jaa's "Skin Trade", take second and third places, respectively.
