  • Longest run - Encanto (11 weeks)
  • Highest total gross - Spider-Man: No Way Home (£91.7 Million)

UK box office top 5 weekend breakdown 4th - 6th February 2022

Sing 2

The animated sequel movie from director Garth Jennings spends a second weekend at the top of the UK box office with a fantastic £5.1 Million weekend gross, a very slim 25% decline for the movie on its second weekend of release.

This gives it a total UK gross of £12.9 Million making it the top movie released in 2022 and the second top movie of 2022 behind Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Jackass Forever

Its been 12 years since Jackass 3D was in our local multiplexes and the crew from the TV show Jackass are back for one last outing of crazy stunts and hidden camera hi-jinx.

The movie lands at number 2 in the UK with a weekend gross of £2 Million which is probably higher than expected, and it becomes the 10th top movie of 2022 in the process.

Belfast

The Kenneth Branagh directed movie falls one place to number 3 this weekend with &poind;1.47 Million, a slender 22% drop over last weekend.

This gives it a total UK gross of £8.9 Million in the UK making it the 3rd top movie of 2022.

After picking up 7 Oscar nominations this week it could mean a good future projection for the movie, and although it might not expect to get many, if any, this will see it hand around until at least the ceremony takes place on March 27th.

Moonfall

Much hyped but seemingly ignored by audiences after a bit of a critical panning, the latest movie from director Roland Emmerich lands on the box office with £1.16 Million this weekend.

Spider Man: No Way Home

Falling to number 5 this weekend after 8 weeks on the box office, the Marvel/Sony movie takes £1.15 Million, a low 35% drop from last weekend, which is incredible considering the movie has been around a couple of months.

Having now taken £91.7 Million in the UK it is the top film of 2022 with £22 Million and it will likely take over Avatar by next weekend as the 5th top movie ever in the UK.

Last weekend saw Sing 2 at the top of the UK box office, with 6 new releases can any of them do enough to top the box office chart this weekend?
