The family-friendly animated film Migration flies south again as it drops a place to Number 10.

This holiday season, Illumination invites you to take flight into the thrill of the unknown with a funny, feathered family vacation like no other in the action-packed new original comedy, Migration.

THE FALL GUY IS NOW ON PVOD!

And that rounds off this week’s top ten places. The action comedy The Fall Guy is this week’s big offering on the PVOD market. The movie, a remake of the television series from the 1980s stars Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. In the film, Colt Seavers, a battered and past-his-prime action choreographer, finds himself working on a film set with Tom Ryder. A famous actor for whom he had doubled long ago. When Tom disappears and the film, directed by Jody Moreno—Colt’s former girlfriend making her directorial debut—is at risk of cancellation, Colt steps in to locate Tom and rescue Jody’s inaugural film. (Read our review here.) I liked the film a lot and I think you will too. If you fancy it, you can rent the film for £15.99 or buy it early for £19.99.

Will the chart fall to The Fall Guy next week, or will Dune: Part Two manage to cling on to the top spot? All will be revealed next Wednesday. So, until then…

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