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.
Animated sequel Minions: The Rise of Gru goes back to the top of the global box office as the movie continues to do well in China and the late summer box office goes very kid orientated as parents find things to do before school starts.

The movie has done very well globally and still available in 85 countries the movie has taken $868.8 Million and is the 4th top movie of 2022.
The late summer hit movie goes back to number 3 this weekend, driven by a lack of new releases and the movie opening in a couple of new countries.

The movie has a chance to go even higher next weekend, can it dare even go back to the top, a massive feat given the movie has taken $1,4 Million so far, or will Spider-Man: No Way Home get in its way with a re-release with 10 minutes extra footage?
