$49 MillionSuperhero movie Black Adam is starting to be a sizable hit iin its own right on its last weekend before the next major event movie hits UK cinemas and spends a third weekend at the top of the UK box office.

Highest new movie this weekend
Highest new entry of the weekend comes from director Oliver Hermanus who adapts the 1952 Japanese film Ikiru directed by Akira Kurosawa.
The movie lands at number 4 this weekend with a debut gross of £670,206 which is the directors highest grossing movie in the UK.
The Japanese animated movie sequel makes its debut at the UK box office this weekend at number 5 with a debut gross of £559,623.
The movie which is a sequel to One Piece: Stampede from 2020, this movie far out grosses that movie which make its debut at the end of January with £69,174 and spent a single week on the box office.
Tenet spends a 7th weekend at the top of the UK box office, the longest for 20 years when Toy Story 2 and Gladiator both spent 7 weeks at the top in 2000.
This is unprecedented times but still it is note worthy that a movie can spend that much time at the top although it is with little competition, although After We Collided came close as did Cats & Dogs: Paws Unite! and this weeks top movie Saint Maud.
There are a number of new movies released this Friday and the bets are on that it could be the last weekend for Tenet, or just maybe the top new release this week might make the jump.
What is a worrying trend is the total top 15 this weekend is nearly a million pound down from last, meaning people are either still unsure of returning to cinemas, or they is nothing to draw them back!
Here is the this week UK box office Quickview (not including catalogue re-releases).

Highest new movie of the weekend lands at number 2 in the shape of director Rose Glass's horror movie which despite landing at 2 takes £263.4K in a ever decreasing market.
The movie has been well reviews with even a hint of Oscar nods so we could see this have a long chart life and it still has a chance to hit the top.
The 1988 movie that kicked off the manga obsession in the West gets a re-release and re-enters the box office at number 3 with £201.1K.
Falling to number 4 this week is the Roger Kumble directed movie that has given Tenet a run for its money in recent weeks and takes £194.2K this weekend, down 50% from last weekend.
