Neighbors sees Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne as new parents who find themselves engaged in a battle of wits when a rowdy fraternity house, led by a frequently shirtless Zac Efron, moves in next door.

The sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man, which sees Andrew Garfield reprise his role as the web-slinging superhero, has made more than $550 million in worldwide ticket sales so far.

Christian drama Heaven Is for Real has been the surprise hit of the year so far. Telling the story of a 4-year-old who says he experienced Heaven during emergency surgery, it has earned more than $75 million on an estimated budget of just $12 million.

US box office Top 5:

Neighbors – $51 million
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 – $37.2 million
The Other Woman – $9.25 million
Heaven Is for Real – $7 million
Captain America: The Winter Soldier – $5.6 million
