GLADIATOR II ENTERS THE CHART ARENA AT THE TOP!

Gladiator II triumphs at Number 1 as it makes its UK chart debut. Extending 2025’s impressive sales streak at the top of the Official Film Chart, Gladiator II earns just under 131,000 sales in its opening week on digital downloads only. This marks the third consecutive week of a chart-topping film in the UK clocking up more than 100,000 sales, following Wicked’s impressive success earlier this month. Its Number 1 debut also comes following its predecessor’s own success in November; Gladiator spent a week at the top when Gladiator II entered UK cinemas.

Pedro Pascal plays General Acacius and Paul Mescal plays Lucius in Gladiator II from Paramount Pictures.
