Getting a head start on the box office with a Tuesday release, Ticket To Paradise makes its debut on the box office this weekend at the top when including previews worth £1 Million, Dont Worry Darling comes in at number 2 which would have been on top if counting weekend gross only.
Coming it at number 3 this weekend is the 4K re-release of Avatar giving a bit of comfort to Disney to the popularity of the franchise just before the release of Avatar: THe Way of Water in December.
Highest new movie this weekend
The movie should have been released last weekend but got delayed due to the passing of The Queen and so its got a Tuesday release this week which by Friday gave it a £1 Million jump on the box office.
The movie starring George Clooney and Julia Roberts in their first team up since the 2016 movie Money Monster takes £2.8 Million on its opening week with £1.7 Million of that taken over the Friday to Sunday weekend.
The movie starring Florence Pugh and directed by Olivia Wilde has caused a fair amount of headlines over the past weeks concerning its star and director not getting on too well, but the movie lands at number 2 on the box office this weekend, and number 1 if you remove the 3 day headstart Ticket To Paradise got.
The movie takes a very respectable £2.7 Million on its debut, which given the controversy and the story of the movie is not bad.
It will be interesting to see the drop off next weekend and if the film can appeal to a broader audience than the hard core fans of the main leads including Harry Styles, Chris Pine, Gemma Chan and Olivia Wilde herself.
Disney are either testing the waters here or trying to get everyone re-invested in 3D and the franchise before the release of the sequel Avatar: The Way of Water in December, but the highest grossing movie of all time gets another shot at box office grosses this weekend.
The movie lands at number 3 this week in an all new 4K, 3D version of the movie with a gross of £1.2 Million which is not bad given the movie has already taken over £90 Million at the UK box office.
It will be interesting to see the drop off next weekend given the rumour that a number of tickets were sold to people thinking this was the sequel.
Last weeks top movie falls to number 4 this weekend after a couple of weeks at the top with a gross of £473,221, a large 52% drop from last weekend.
This gives the movie a total gross of £3.6 Million after 3 weeks at the top.
Landing on the box office last weekend in limited release and becoming the highest debut at number 10 the David Bowie documentary goes wide this week and jumps to number 5 with a gross of £375,398.
This is a 52% increase over last weekend, but no surprise really given the increase in cinema count, the movie has taken £676,185 in total over 2 weeks.
New movies from director Jordan Peele are now an event and his latest movie, Nope, takes over at the top of the UK box office on its debut weekend.
Also new this weekend is the Hindi language remake of Forrest Gump, Laal Singh Chaddha lands on the box office at 8 with £325,000.
The mega smash hot Top Gun Maverick falls to number 7 this weekend with £405,000, a tiny 34% drop for a movie on its 12th weekend, but its worth noting that the movie would be number 1 with over £2 Million if the chart was measured Monday - Sunday.
Highest new movie of the weekend
Director Jordan Peele has carved out a very good niche for himself in the suspense horror genre and following Get Out and Us~2019 he lands at the top with his with his third movie.
Taking a weekend gross of £1.98 Million it doesn't quite reach the gross of Us~2019 which took £2.7 Million in its debut.
It also doesn't quite get to the £2.1 Million of Get Out from 2017, but with little in the way of strong competition going forward, and the hot weather in the UK this weekend this movie could have a longer run.
Critical reviews haven't been as good as the previous 2 movie, and although the movie has been enjoyed it is considered the directors lowest rating movie to date.
Brad Pitts crazy adventure on the famous Japanese train falls to number 2 this weekend with a weekend take of £906,000, a 68% drop over last weekend.
The movie has now taken £5.1 Million at the UK box office over its 2 weeks of release.
