UK box office top 5 breakdown weekend 12th - 14th November 2021
Staying at the top of the UK box office for a second weekend the Marvel Studios movie takes £2.9 Million, a reasonable 47% drop over last weekend.
This drop is better than Marvels other 2021 movie Black Widow which dropped a massive 74% on its second weekend, but it was on Disney+ as well, but worse than Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings which only dropped 38%, but there was pent up cinema demand at the time.
The movie has taken £10.5 Million over its 2 weeks of release which is actually comparable to the other 2021 Marvel movies, but with the hype for Spider-Man: No Way Home going beyond fever pitch that movies mid December release could effect the final few weeks box office for this Chloe Zhao directed movie.
Still for a movie which has fairly unfavourable review it will end up with a £20 Million+ total UK gross which is not bad for a new IP.
Daniel Craigs final Bond outing stays put at number 2 this weekend with a gross of £1.5 Million, a very slim 21% on its 7th weekend of release, which could be down to people finally deciding its safe to go back to cinemas and not wanting to miss the big screen experience.
The movie has taken a massive £92.7 Million in the UK and it will end up as the top movie of 2021, I don't think even Spider-Man: No Way Home can beat this, and with the movie coming out so late in the year much of its take will be in 2022.
The movie is still the 5th top movie of all time in the UK, but it should be able to take Avatar by next weekend and settle under Spectre and Skyfall on the top 5 UK movies of all time, it will most likely struggle to get over £100 Million in the UK though.
Remaining at number 3 this weekend is director Denis Villeneuve take on the classic schi-fi noval which takes £1.7 Million over the weekend, again a very slim drop of only 24%.
This gives the movie a total UK gross of £18.9 Million and the 4th top movie of 2021 as it prepares to overtake Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway at number 3.
The movie is now the top grossing movie in the UK for the celebrated director having just overtaken the UK gross of 2017's Blade Runner 2049.
The bio-pic of Princess Diana goes on wider release and climbs to number 4 on the box office with £698,065, a 29% increase over last weekend where it debuted at number 6.
The movie starring Kristen Stewart as the late Princess has taken £1.5 Million in the UK after 2 weeks.
Staying put at number 5 this weekend is the animated sequel which takes £574,218 on its 4th weekend, a very small 5% drop, giving the movie a total in the UK of £6.4 Million.
The Marvel movies are coming thick and fast in latter part of 2021 and this week Eternals makes its debut at the top of the UK box office as it knocks off No Time To Die.
Also new this weekend is
Spencer starring Kristen Stewart as the pate Princess Diana which makes its debut at number 6 with £492,643.

UK box office top 5 weekend breakdown 5th - 7th November 2021
Directed by Oscar winner Chloe Zhao the latest movie from Marvel Studios lands at number 1 this weekend with a debut gross of £5.4 Million.
This is lower than this years Black Widow which came in at £6.5 Million but in the same ball park as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
The movie has a hard to ahead as there are a number of high profile movies on the horizon which could take audience away, least of all MCU stable mate Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the movie has had some unfavourable reviews.
Bond movie number 25 falls to number 2 this weekend with a gross of £1.9 Million, a 44% decline from last weekend where it went back to the top of the chart.
The movie has taken £89.8 Million over its 6 weeks of release and it is the top movie of 2021 by some margin, and I suspect it will stay there as none of the holiday movie release will have the strength to take nearly £100 Million.
The movie is the 5th top movie of all-time in the UK and as soon as it takes Avatar it will be all Bond in the top 5 except for the top movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and I dont see it breaking that movies £123 Million gross.
Director Denis Villeneuve sci-fi noval adaptation falls to number 3 this weekend with £1.5 Million on its 3rd weekend of release, a 53% decline over last weekend.
The movie has taken £16.8 Million in the UK so far which makes it the 5th top grossing movie of 2021.
Also from the Marvel Studio stable, but the Sony side, the Venom sequel falls to number 4 this weekend with £675,819, a 55% drop.
The movie which has been on release for 4 weeks now has taken £16.2 Million in the UK and is the 8th top movie of 2021.
The animated sequel finishes off the top 5 this week with a gross of £606,181, a 55% drop, giving it a total gross of £5.8 Million.
James Bond retakes the top of the UK box office as No Time To Die and Dune have a photo finish with with only £200,000 separating them at the finish line.
Top new movie of the weekend is Last Night In Soho which enters at number 8 this week with £731,950, although the highest debut of the week is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which is re-released to celebrate 20 years since its release, it makes its debut at 6 with £965,007.
Also new this weekend are Antlers at number 11 with £251,100 and My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission at number 12 with &pond;218,956 while Cliff Richard - The Great 80 Tour which hit cinemas on Wednesday was at number 13 for the weekend with £157,345.

Far and away the biggest hit of 2021 (so far) goes back to the top of the UK box office in a very tight battle with Dune with the Bond movie winning the race by just £202,149.
Daniel Craigs final Bond outing takes £3.5 Million over the weekend, a very slim 25% drop over last weekend when it fell to number 2.
This gives the movie a total UK gross of £85.9 Million over its 5 weeks of release, this also makes it the top movie of 2021 and the 5th top movie ever in the UK.
Unlike Tenet last year, which was released too early, the Bond movie, which has a bigger appeal anyway, has got people to go back to cinemas, and for the 5th weekend running the box office top 15 has grossed over £15 Million, something which hasn't happened since the end of 2019 start of 2020 when Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was released.
Also the movie has broken the record to most consecutive days grossing over £1 Million, it currently stands at 33 days.
Director Denis Villeneuve's take on the classic sci-fi movie falls to number 2 this weekend with £3.3 Million, this gives it a very good 44% drop on its second weekend of release.
This gives the movie a total gross of £13.2 Million and it pushes it into the top 10 movies of 2021 at number 9.
Staying put at number 3 this weekend is the Spiderverse villain movie which takes £1,5 Million on its 3rd weekend, a good 39% drop over last week, giving the movie a total UK gross of £14.7 Million and the 7th top movie of 2021.
The animated sequel goes back up to number 4 this weekend with a take of £1.4 Million, and increase of 40% over last weekend, largely due to the school autumn half term.
This gives the movie a total gross of £8.9 Million over 4 weeks of release.
Also benefitting from the school half term in another animated sequel which takes £1.3 Million over the weekend as the movie falls to number 5, this is an 11% increase from last weekend, this movie has taken £4.9 Million after 2 weeks of release.

UK box office weekend top 5 breakdown 22nd - 24th October 2021
Director Denis Villeneuve brings his vision of the classic Frank Herbert sci-fi noval to the big screen after a delay of a year and hit the top, de-throning Bond in the process.
The movie takes a very respectable £5.8 Million in the UK on its debut, which compared to movie this year since cinemas re-opened is good with only No Time To Die doing better, as you would expect.
The movie has potential limited appeal altohugh David Lynches 1984 version of the movie has created a large audience over the nearly 40 years since release who will be keen to see this version, but No Time To Die could reclaim the top for a weekend before the release of Eternals on 5th November.
The 25th Bond movie spent 3 weeks at the top before being taken by Dune and this week is at number 2 with a weekend gross of £4.6 Million, a 44% drop over last weekend.
The movie has certainly brought people back to the cinema and has taken a massive £78 Million to date and has sold over 12.5 Million cinema tickets.
The movie is by far the top movie of 2021 in the UK, and I doubt Eternals or Spider-Man: No Way Home will overtake it and I think The Matrix Resurrections
is released too late in the year.It is also the 8th top movie of all time in the UK and will most likely enter the top 5 by next weekend.
The superhero villain movie falls to number 3 this weekend with £2.4 Million on its second weekend of release, a 60% drop over last week.
This gives the film a total UK gross of £11.1 Million after 10 days, which puts it just behind 2018's Venom.
The animated sequel makes its debut at number 4 this weekend with a gross of £1.2 Million, which is way behind the orinal The Boss Baby from 2017.
That movie, which was released in the April of 2017, had a number 1 debut with £8 Million, but after some delays, and little interest in the franchise the sequel has done a fraction of that.
The animated sequel to the much loved TV series falls to number 5 this weekend with £885,404, a small 36% drop over last weekend, this gives the movie a total UK gross of £5.2 Million.
The 2021 version of Dune, which got a release across some of the world a few weeks ago, get released in many major countries this weekend and in the process goes to the top of the global box office.
