$0 Growing from the success of last years Wicked~2024, Wicked for Good tops the UK box office chart with a bigger opening than last years first movie.
The movie last year opened with just over £13.5 Million whereas the sequel (or part 2) opens this holiday season with an amazing £18.8 Million, making it the second largest November opening behind 2022's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but only just!
The box office, which has been on a low for the last few weeks, was ready for a big blockbuster movie, the next new release on the chart this week is Sisu: Road to Revenge at number 11 with holdover movies filling in the rest.
Last weeks top movie Now You See Me: Now You Dont falls to number 2 and has taken £4.3 Million so far in the UK.

Highest new movie this weekend
Director Danny Boyle returns to the horror series that made it a household name (well maybe Trainspotting did!) with 28 Years Later and the much anticipated movie tops the UK box office on its debut.
The Oscar winning director ducked out of the series second movie 28 Weeks Late and Juan Carlos Fresnadillo took on directing duties, but he brought the series to life in 2002 with 28 Days Later.
The movie takes a fantastic £4.7 Million on its debut which is better than the previous two movies combined.
Last weeks top movie, How to Train Your Dragon~2025, drop to number 2 this week after only a single weekend at the top, although with the school summer holidays just round the corner a longer stay, and maybe return to the top, is likely.
Elio from Disney and Pixar falls short this weekend and can only manage a top 3 entry at 3 with just under a million debut - although with the school holidays around the corner - and good reviews - it could hang around.
