US release: 1st November 2019
£1.3 Million
$10.9 Million
$3.7 MillionCinemas closed back in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and since then many movies have had their release date changed or gone directly to VOD at a premium rate, the movie Tenet has for a long time been seen as the movie that will reopen cinemas and bring audiences back.
After a couple of release date changes the movie is here and with this event many more cinemas are re-opening, with safety precautions in place.
With the pandemic still an issue in the US the movie still has another couple of weeks before its release but cinemas are reopening far slower there.
Here is a rundown of this weeks movies, and I suspect one of them will replace one the current number one film, Unhinged, from the top of the box office chart.
Check back on Monday to see if these new releases enter the UK Weekend Box Office Chart.
With no big new film released over the weekend 1917 remains at the top of the box office for a fourth consecutive weekend while the indie movie Queen And Slim is the top new film of the week at numer 7 where it heads up a quad of new releases.
Te award winning film from Sam Mendes remains at the top of the Uk box office this week with a gross of £2.8 Million which is a drop of only 38%.
