Eight weeks on and the Christopher Nolan directed movie is still in the number 1 position, this week with its lowest weekend gross to date at £187.2K, a 37% drop from last weekend.
The movie has now taken £16.8 Million at the UK box office which is the directors 6th highest grossing movie, and its more that 20005's Batman Begins (not adjusted for inflation).
Event cinema has been a part of the box office for years now and in the current climate with the box office suffering due to a lack of big blockbuster movies we get a Micheal Ball and Alfie Boe concert as the top new movie of the weekend.
Entering at number 2 the event took £175K on its 2 days of release, Saturday and Sunday.
Last weeks top new movie falls to number 3 this weekend with £132.2K which boosts the movies total gross to £520.3K after 10 days of release which is 45% down from its debut gross.
The surprise hit of late summer remains at number 4 this week with £107.4K over the weekend, 45% down from last weekend.
This gives the movie a total gross in the UK of £3.7 Million after 7 weeks of release.
Staying at number 5 is the Cats & Dogs sequel which takes &45.4K on its 3rd weekend of release, 40% down, giving it a £326K total.
The threat of the terminator posed no challenge for the Minions this week as the little green beings held on to the top spot with relative ease.
A second week at the top and a weekend gross of £6.2 million brings the total gross of the animated film to £20.9 million after 10 days of release.
Highest new entry of the week is Mr Schwarzenegger's return to the franchise which made him a star, Terminator.
Terminator Genisys enters the chart at number 2 with a weekend gross of £3.7 million, a little low maybe for a highly anticipated film such as this.
In comparison Terminator Salvation made £6.9 million on its debut, Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines took £6.08 million on its debut, so Genisys is running at half those two films.
Jurassic World continues to pull in the numbers and this week brings its total to £53 million.
Other new film this week are Magic Mike XXL at 4, documentary Amy at 5, with £523,192 the highest new entry for a documentary in the UK and Guillaume Tell Royal Opera House at 8.

A New poster has been released for the upcoming Batman sequel movie titled The Dark Knight, and its a clever look at the film which is one again starring Christian Bale as the caped crusader.
The one thing I've been very impressed with during the promotional campaign if the quality of the posters and the way they give little away while letting you know its a Batman movie.
Having not enjoyed Batman Begins as much as many others this reset for the DC universe Warner Bros. Batman franchise has at least made us very curious.
Lets hope the excellent Christopher Nolan can direct a sequel that expands his universe and gives us the style he put into Inception.
