It was a tight contest this weekend for the top of the box office with IF~2024 taking over at the top of the UK box office by about £300,000.

The Ryan Reynolds starring movie took over at the top of the box office with a debut gross of £2.4 Million.

The last movie directed by John Krasinski A Quiet Place Part II made its debut at the top with £3.4 Million in June 2021.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes falls to number 2 this weekend but it put up a fight to keep the crown and only just lost out.

The movie has taken a very good £7.6 Million to date.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 also makes its debut on the UK box office top 5 at number 4 with £452,506.

The UK box office top 15 took a little more than last weekend which was a big low but the numbers a still no where near past movie summer seasons which is a worrying sign for the cinema industry.
