UK box office top 5 weekend breakdown 28th - 30th January 2022

Sing 2

The animated sequel to director Garth Jennings 2017 original Sing lands on this weeks box office at the top with a gross £6.8 Million.

This is lower than the first movies debut gross which was £10 Million, but that is most likely down to the pandemic as we are still seeing lower box office returns on the whole.

The movie has been a smash hit across the globe and in the UK the original was a smash hit, this will hang around for quite a while, it is already the second top movie of 2022 in the UK.

Belfast

Kenneth Branagh's movie never made it to the top spot in the UK but it is proving to be a big hit regardless as it spends another weekend at number 2.

The film takes £1.8 Million over the weekend pushing its total to £6 Million, and making it the 3rd top movie of 2022.

Spider Man: No Way Home

The movie spent 6 weeks at number 1 over the 2021 Christmas and new year period but this week leaps over Belfast to number 3 as it looses the number 1 crown to Sing 2.

On its 7th weekend the movie takes £1.7 Million, a 24% drop over last week, giving it a total UK gross of £90 Million.

It is the top movie of 2022 and is the 6th top movie of all time as it tries to beat the £93 Million taken by Avatar.

Scream

Falling to number 4 this weekend is the horror franchise movie which takes £788,123 on its 3rd weekend of release, a 37% drop over last weekend, giving the movie a total in the UK of £6.1 Million.

Nightmare Alley

Falling to 5 this weekend after its debut is the Guillermo del Toro directed movie which takes £330,830, a 40% drop from last week, giving the movie a total in the UK of £1,2 Million.
