British nobility beats American movie heroes: "Downton Abbey," the film version of the 2015 British hit series that ended in 2015, has taken the lead in the US cinema charts on the opening weekend. In all, the social drama surrounding the Grantham noble family in the 1920s contributed $ 31 million (about € 28.09 million), with $ 20,000 million expected, several US media reported.
