Steamy bondage romp "Fifty Shades of Grey" dominated the North American box office on its opening weekend, whipping the competition to secure top spot -- and the biggest February opening ever -- industry figures showed Tuesday. The erotic tale of billionaire Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and his sadomasochistic relationship with college graduate Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) pulled in $93 million -- more than 40 percent of the top dozen movies' sales -- according to box office tracker Exhibitor Relations. "While creatively better endowed than its print counterpart, '50 Shades of Grey' is a less than satisfying experience on the screen," said the Rotten Tomatoes movie ranking website, which gave it a lackluster 26 percent approval rating. Another Valentine's Day weekend opener was British spy-comedy flick "Kingsman: The Secret Service," starring Colin Firth and Samuel L. Jackson, which debuted in second place with a haul of $41.8 million.
