With these new and returning titles, we have to say goodbye to Trolls Band Together, The Nun II, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, A Haunting In Venice, and Gran Turismo. But what are these new and returning titles, and where have they entered the chart? Start the countdown, it’s time to find out.

OPPENHEIMER CONTINUES TO EXPLODE AT THE TOP!

Oppenheimer earns a second week at Number 1 on the Official Film Chart. Outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined, Oppenheimer is the biggest film of the week across both disc and digital downloads.

Cillian Murphy is J. Robert Oppenheimer in OPPENHEIMER, written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan.

DARE YOU FACE FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S?

Our highest new entry of the week is the frightening video game adaptation Five Nights at Freddy’s, which debuts at Number 2. Josh Hutcherson stars as Mike, a troubled young person who takes a job as a security guard at a long-abandoned Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza which holds a dark past, battling vengeful animatronics and unravelling the sinister secrets lurking at the pizzeria.

ITS LOVE ACTUALLY!

Dancing up eight places is festive favourite Love Actually at Number 5. Having previously peaked at Number 4 in 2020, can the British rom-com climb any further this year?

TIME TO CHILL OUT!

Literally! It is freezing outside our front doors at the moment, giving us even more reason to stay in the warm and catch the best on home entertainment. With Violent Night and Nativity both making themselves at home in the top ten, the deluge of Christmas movies is fast approaching. Elf will make an appearance shortly, as it currently sits just outside the top ten at number 12. Will it re-enter the top ten next week? We shall have to wait and see but until next Wednesday…

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