$0 After a 4 week run at the top of the UK box office The Super Mario Bros. Movie is knocked off by the latest MCU movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, but its not all good news as the threequel does not take as much as the sequel movie on its debut.
With such a bit movie getting its debut the studios cleared the schedule for a couple of weeks to give it time to breath, there were a couple of other new movies though, Jodi was new at 9 with £88,045 while Return to Seoul came in at 10 with £75,273.
Meanwhile outside the top 10 2018 came in at 13 with £52,211.
Highest new movie this weekend
Despite the hype, and generally good reviews the new Guardians of the Galaxy made its debut will less than that of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, which is perhaps another sign that superhero fatigue is creeping in, something which director James Gunn has mentioned in the past.
That said the movie did debut at the top of the chart, knocking off The Super Mario Bros. Movie and is the 8th top grossing movie ever in the month of May.
After spending 4 weeks at the top the Nintendo video game adaptation falls just a single place to number 2 this weekend with a £1.3 Million gross
The movie is the top grossing movie of 2023 so far and is looking to top £50 Million by next weekend.
The Evil Dead sequel movie seems to be pleasing movie goers in the UK as the horror movie takes nearly £500,000 on its third weekend of release.
The British produces movie starring Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton falls to number 4 on its second weekend of release with a £336,519 gross.
Going back up the box office to number 5 is the former number 1 John Wick sequel which has a total UK gross of £17 Million after 7 weeks of release.
It will most likely be the last weekend at the top for The Super Mario Bros. Movie but the top grossing movie of 2023 so far spends a fourth weekend at the top of the UK box office pushing its total gross to over £45 Million after 4 weeks of release.
With the horror movie Evil Dead Rise staying at number 2 with a gross of just over a million the top new movie of the weekend is The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry starring Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton which takes £784,698 on its debut.
Also new this weekend is Ponniyin Selvan: Part Two taking £618,244 on its debut and there is a new entry for the 40th Anniversary rerelease of the much loved classic Star Wars: Return of the Jedi at number 7 with £446,291
Maybe a little disappointing is the debut place for Polite Society which enters the box office at 9 with £220,278.
Finally inside outside the top 10 is Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World which debut's with £204,220.
