This week on The Official Film Chart, Wicked Little Letters are delivered and The Holdovers returns, but it’s One Life that takes the top spot.

Welcome to The Official Film Chart.

THE TOP TEN

This week in the top ten placings, we see one new entry and one re-entry into the placings. To accommodate these titles, it is the end of the chart road for Hop and Migration. But what is the all-important number one title? Is it a case of as you were or has something else taken over? Let’s find out.

ONE LIFE TAKES THE TOP SPOT!

Biographical drama One Life lifts to Number 1 on the Official Film Chart. Starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, One Life is based on the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued 669 predominantly Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. The film lifts three places week-on-week.

ARE YOU GOING TO BE RETURNING TO ARRAKIS ON PVOD?

And that is this week’s top ten chart placings. Lurking under the sand of the chart is the epic science fiction sequel Dune Part Two. The concluding part of Frank Herbert’s original novel emerged like a sandworm and went on to great box office success. (Read our review here.) The film is now available on PVOD. As usual, the film is priced at £15.99 to rent or £19.99 to buy. But in a VERY rare move from me, I have bought the film to add to my collection at £19.99. Considering I think it is a masterpiece, some things just have to be done.

Will the Sandworms emerge next week to make a bid for the top of the chart? Anything is possible. So, until next week…

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