DUNE PART TWO REVIEW

This week on The Official Chart, the Frozen Empire rises, and The Meg resurfaces, leaving Dune: Part Two to lead the way again for a 7th week!

Welcome to The Official Film Chart.

THE OFFICIAL UK TOP TEN BEST-SELLERS

This week, we see a single re-entry into the chart. This one title means that Imaginary has seen its time inside the top ten come to an end. But what is this returning title and where has it entered the placings? Time to dive in and see what has made the grade.

THE FROZEN EMPIRE RISES AGAIN AT NUMBER TWO!

While Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire at Number 2 made a valiant effort this week on digital downloads only, it wasn’t enough to defeat the long-reigning Sci-Fi adaptation. However, it did return to its previous peak. (Read our review here.)

OUTSIDE THE TOP TEN

This week’s highest new entry comes from the biopic Ferrari at Number 13. Starring Adam Driver as the motor racing driver and founder of the Ferrari brand Enzo Ferrari, as he faces bankruptcy and loss of family and, as a result, a turbulent marriage. He decides to roll the dice to counter his losses on the Mille Miglia, a 1,000-mile race across Italy.

Also in the Top 20 this week, we see all three films from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The Fellowship of the Ring (12), The Two Towers (18) and The Return of the King (20) – feature, following a 4K remaster and ongoing chatter around the upcoming LOTR film The Hunt For Gollum, which is expected to release in 2026.

WILL YOU DARE MESS WITH TAROT?

And that is this week’s top ten. Now available on PVOD is the supernatural horror movie Tarot. When a group of friends recklessly violates the sacred rule of Tarot readings – never use someone else’s deck – they unknowingly unleash an unspeakable evil trapped within the cursed cards. One by one, they come face to face with fate and end up in a race against death to escape the future foretold in their readings. The film received negative reviews upon release but can be yours to rent for £15.99 or buy for £19.99.

Will the deck spook the top ten next week? Or will Dune cling on for an eighth total week? There’s only one way to find out. Join me again next week to see the comings and goings inside the UK top ten. So, until then…

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