Highest new movie this weekend
As we roll into October the low budget horror movies start to roll in and first off the mark is this movie from writer/director Parker Finn which narrowly lands at the top this weekend.
The movie has been praised by critics for being a low budget horror which is genuinely scary as the movie takes £1.86 Million.
The movie got a jump on the weekend opening on Thursday which added to the movies opening gross, whereas Don't Worry Darling had to rely on Friday - Monday box office, it would have won the weekend had things all been even.
Remaining at number 2 for a second weekend is the Olivia Wilde suburbia sci-fi/drama which takes £1.83 Million on its second weekend, a fairly good 34% drop for the controversial movie.
The movie has taken £6.1 Millon over its 2 weeks of release in the UK and it should feel a bit cheated not to have been a number 1 movie!
After loosing out last weekend with Ticket to Paradise after that movie got a 3 day head start on the weekend, and then just loosing out to Smile~2022 this weekend after that movie got its Thursday previews added to its weekend gross.
The George Clooney and Julia Roberts starring romantic comedy falls from the top to number 3 this weekend with a gross of £1.3 Million, a large 52% drop over last weekend.
The movie has now taken a total of £5.1 Million in the UK afer 2 weeks of release.
