This week on The Official Chart, The Marvels are defeated, and we make a Wish, leaving Wonka to give us a sweet treat at the top!
Welcome to The Official Film Chart.
THE UK TOP TEN
This week sees two new entries enter the chart placings. Both new titles take the top two positions. This means it’s the end of the chart road for The Creator and Anatomy Of A Fall. But what are these new titles and what title has beaten what to the top spot? Get a dose of Pure Imagination as we find out.
THE CANDYMAN CAN AS HE HITS THE TOP!
Wonka makes a magical chart-topping entrance on the Official Film Chart. Leading on digital downloads only and outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined, the Willy Wonka origin story stars Timothee Chalamet alongside a renowned supporting cast which includes Olivia Colman, Matt Lucas, Keegan-Michael Key, Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Grant among many more.
Wonka tells the story of Roald Dahl’s beloved character (Chalamet) as he arrives in a city renowned for its chocolate, with dreams of opening his own shop – but soon finds himself battling sabotage and a cartel of greedy chocolatiers threatened by his potential. (Read our review here.)

KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON MOVES UP!
Oscar-nominated historic drama Killers of the Flower Moon rises one place to a brand new peak of Number 9.
THE EQUALIZER IS OUT OF BULLETS!
And finally, The Equalizer 3 rounds out the Top 10 at Number 10, falling five places.
SURFACING SOON!
And that is this week’s best-selling home entertainment titles. Wonka will almost certainly stay at the top next week. But he will face a challenge in a couple of weeks. Hitting Home Premiere on Monday is the DC sequel Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom (Read our review here.) The film will be available to rent for £15.99 or buy for £19.99. The physical release is set for March 18th.
Will the finale of the DCEU manage to sink Wonka the week after next? We will have to see, so until next time…
Whatever you decide, whatever you buy, stay safe, be kind, look after each other, and happy viewing!
