The was a battle at the top of the Uk box office this week between The Hitmans Bodyguard and Dunkirk and with a gap of less than £50,000 Bodyguard won.
The comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson took £1.9 million on its debut weekend to reach the top, this is the lowest opening for a film to reach number 1 since Billy Elliot The Musical Live took the top spot in September 2014.
This means that the total gross for the top 15 films is also at a low with just £10 million taken.
Falling from the top is Dunkirk, although it held on tight and in the end lost to by a narrow margin taking to second place with £1.8 million.
Dunkirk is still showing strong figures from the week and took £4 million Monday - Sunday to brings its total to nearly £50 million, it is easily the second top grossing film of 2017.
Interestingly the Monday - Sunday figures puts The Hitmans Bodyguard at number 4 with Annabelle Creation and The Emoji Movie coming second and third.
Highest grossing film on the UK box office this week is Dunkirk while the longest running film is Despicable Me 3 with 8 weeks on the chart, its currently number 6.
Historical charts
A year ago - Finding Dory Went back to the top of the box office knocking Suicide Squad to number 2 while David Brent Life On The Road was the top new film at 3.
Five years ago - After a limited launch seeing it reach number 6 then number 5 Brave reached the top when it went wide on its third week, it knocked off Ted to number 3, The Bourne Legacy was the top new film at 2.
Ten years ago - The Bourne Ultimatum was the top new film of the week at number 1, it knocked off Rush Hour 3 to number 3.
Fifteen years ago - Men In Black II remained at the top of the box office for a third weekend while the top new film was The Sum of All Fears at number 2.
Twenty years ago - Men in Black remained at the top for a third weekend while the top new film was Speed 2 Cruise Control at number 3.
Twenty five years ago - Lethal Weapon 4 was the top new film of the week making its debut at the top while Far And Away fell to number 2.
In an unusual event for the box office charts an old favourite returns to the top, Disney/Pixars Finding Dory replaces the widely criticised Suicide Squad, Dory has been on release now for 4 weeks!
We are coming to the end of the School holidays in the UK and its a time when a lot of families are back from their time away so its perhaps no surprise that the box kids film of the moment returns to the top.
A fantastic 4th weekend gross of £2.8 million takes the total gross to £32.3 million, this puts the film on a level with the original Finding Nemo from 2003.
Falling into second place after 2 weeks at the top is Suicide Squad, a £2.5 million weekend brings the total gross to an fantastic £27.6 million.
This puts the DC anti-hero film ahead of the DC superhero film Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice from earlier in the year.
Highest new film of the week is a new British institution making his movie debut, David Brent Life On The Road, and although it hasn't done as well as fellow TV turned movie Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie from earlier this year, it has debuted at 3 with £1.4 million.
The Office was a big hit on TV over 10 years ago, and is still loved by fans, but it is a challenge to get that same feeling back, especially on the big screen, David Brent is maybe not a big enough draw on his own to command his own film?
The Secret Life of Pets is still the top total grossing movie of the week with £33.7 million and the longest running film with 9 weeks.
Interesting note this week, if the chart were calculated from the full weeks taking it would have been a very different picture, Suicide Squad would have retained the top, The BFG would have been 3rd and David Brent Life on the Road would have been 6th.
David Brent Life on The Road gets a new trailer - not as good as the first though.
