This week on The Official Film Chart, The Pope’s Exorcist scares off evil spirits, and Matilda returns, but it’s Fast X that accelerates into the top spot!

Welcome to The Official Film Chart.

THE TOP TEN

This week sees two new entries and two re-entries into the listings. It is time to say goodbye to the John Wick 1-4 Boxset, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore, and Plane. And we have a new number one title. Put your seatbelt on as we take a look.

FAST X ACCELERATES STRAIGHT INTO NUMBER ONE!

The latest instalment in the Fast & Furious franchise, Fast X debuts at Number 1 on the Official Film Chart as the action epic leaves other titles in the dust. Securing its position based solely on digital downloads, it is the sequel to F9 (2021), the tenth main instalment, and the eleventh instalment overall in the Fast & Furious franchise. In Fast X, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family are targeted by the vengeful son of drug kingpin Hernan Reyes. The film features an all-star cast with appearances from Michelle Rodriguez, John Cena, Helen Mirren, Jason Statham & Jason Momoa. (Read our review here.)

APPLY THE BRAKES!

Time to stop the chart car and park up for this week. Fast X was a surprise entry this week as it is currently only available on PVOD. But can it retain its position next week? We will find out next Wednesday so until then…

Whatever you decide, whatever you buy, stay safe, be kind, look after each other, and happy viewing!
