In a fascinating weekend for the UK box office a 10 week old movie, Minions: The Rise of Gru goes back to the top, a 15 week old movie, Top Gun: Maverick goes back into the top 5 and a 2021 movie and one of the top grossing movies in the UK is the top new release, Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Adding to this the second highest new movie is E.T. The Extra Terrestrial celebrating its 40th anniversary, yes 40 years since the release of the once global highest grossing movie of all time!
Less impressive this weekend is the debut releases for Three Thousand Years of Longing which is new at 10 with £307,176, Fall~2022 new at 13 with £220,270 and The Forgiven~2021 new at 15 with £182,772.
Going back to the top of the UK box office, once again, is the sequel movie to Minions which 5 weeks after it was last at the top, and 10 weeks after it was first at the top it takes £1.06 Million to return to the top, a 46% jump over last weekend.
With no high profile new releases now in the last couple of weeks, and the end of the school summer holidays, and the bargain price of £3 per ticket on Saturday this is perhaps not too much of a surprise.
The movie has now taken £44 Million in the UK and is the second top movie of 2022, it is also the 61st top movie of all time.
Interestingly the movie is behind the first Minions movie but it has been consistently about £1 Million behind.
Also doing well at the end of the school summer holidays and jumping back up to number 2 this weekend is the animated movie based on DC superhero pets which takes £1 Million on its 6th weekend, which is 41% up from last weekend.
The movie has taken a total of £14 Million in the UK over its 6 weeks of release.
The movie which simply wont go away is the top movie of 2022 in the UK which this weekend takes £600,258, a modest 7% increase over last weekend.
The movie has now taken a total of £81.6 Million over its 15 weeks of release and is the 9th top movie of all time in the UK.
The only film this weekend on the top 5 this drops week on week is the Brad Pitt fast train heist movie which takes £554,100 on its 5th weekend of release, a 7% drop over last weekend.
This gives the movie a total UK gross of £9.2 Million.
Highest new movie of the weekend
Getting a re-release to celebrate National Cinema Day is the 2021 Spider-Man release from Marvel and Sony with a little help Disney.
The movie takes a quite incredible £469,309 on its return to the box office, incredible because the movie is the 4th biggest movie of all time in the UK and it was only in cinemas earlier this year, and although there is 20 minites extra footage it does not change the story and makes it a 3 hour movie!
Still the movie has now spent 16 weeks on the chart and taken an amazing £96.9 Million, it is also the 8th top movie of 2022.
Famed director Zack Snyder brings his latest movie to Netflix and its all about zombies invading the Casinos of Las Vegas.
The legion of Snyder fans are pleased to see the director moving away from the DC Universe for his latest movie, and judging by the trailers this is a good old zombie romp in the vein of George A. Romero's classic Dead series.
The movie stars among other Garret Dillahunt, Tig Notaro and Samantha Win.
Movie Synopsis
After a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a group of mercenaries takes the ultimate gamble by venturing into the quarantine zone for the greatest heist ever.

This is the first new movie from the director since the controversy and personal tragedy surrounding his time with the original theatrical version of Justice League.
It good to see Snyder move away from the DC Universe for a new movie and this looks fantastic, the movie is set in Las Vegas and is a heist movie mixed in with the zombie mayhem, all in the tradition of George A. Romero's Day Of The Dead.
The movie was shot entirely on digital and there is a real feeling of a video game look and feel in many parts of the trailer which is maybe intentional, but I can see myself reaching for the Playstation controller occasionally!
It also cant be ignored the parallels between the story of a disease dominating a large city and the current global pandemic, but maybe I'm reading more into it than necessary?
The movie hits Netflix on May 21st and wont be hitting cinemas, and on a side note we are also getting Zack Snyder's 4 hours cut of Justice League on HBO Max in the US and other streaming services worldwide on March 18th.
