18th February 2016
Marvels latest superhero goes to the top of the UK box office with an incredibly good opening weekend, far better than could have been predicted.
Ryan Reynolds stars in Deadpool which makes its UK box office debut at the top with an incredible £13.6 million debut.
The film which is being distributed by 20th Century Fox rather than Disney beat all expectation and becomes a new franchise for Marvel, a sequel is in the works.
Falling from the top down to number 5 after a single week is Goosebumps which takes just over £1 million pound bringing its total to £4.1.
Also new this week is Alvin and The Chipmunks The Road Chip at number 2 and maybe a little disappointing Zoolander No 2 at number 2.
Highest grossing film on the box office is Star Wars: The Force Awakens which has not taken an amazing £121 million.
Historical charts - A year ago - Valentines day favourite Fifty Shades of Grey made its debut at the top knocking Big Hero 6 into second place.
Five years ago - Gnomeo and Juliet took over the top spot on its debut from The Kings Speech which fell to number 2.
Ten years ago - Chicken Little from Disney was the top film on its debut and with a top 3 of new releases Zathura A Space Adventure fell from the top to number 5.

Twenty Five years ago - Oscar winning Dances With Wolves was the highest new film at the top while Kindergarten Cop fell to number 2.
In what is a quiet week compared to recent weeks Jack Black takes his latest film Goosebumps to the top of the UK box office beating Dads Army in the process.
The children's fantasy film enters at the top of the box office on its debut with £2.7 million pound which is low for both star Jack Black and director Rob Letterman.
Black has his next film Kung Fu Panda 3 about to be released in the UK which will most likely debut much higher and be a bigger hit.
British favourite Dads Army gets a big screen remake this week and enters the box office at number 2 with just over £2 million.
The World War 2 film starring Toby Jones and Catherine Zeta Jones, as well as a whole host of British talent, has maybe performed below expectations but will most likely hang around for a fair few weeks.
Last week top film, The Revenant, fall to number 3 this week after 3 weeks at the top, but with Oscar just round the corner there could be a resurgent later in February.
Highest total grossing film on the box office is Star Wars: The Force Awakens which has now taken an incredible $120 million in the UK and is at number 6 this week.
