HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON FLIES STRAIGHT TO THE TOP!

DreamWorks and Universal Pictures’ epic return to Berk has struck box office gold as 2025’s live-action How to Train Your Dragon makes a spectacular debut at Number 1 on this week’s Official Film Chart. The long-awaited live-action remake of the beloved animated classic has captivated audiences and critics alike with its breathtaking visuals, heartfelt performances, and a fresh yet faithful retelling of the story of Hiccup and Toothless. Fans of the original trilogy will find nostalgia and new wonder in this reimagined epic from director Dean DeBlois.

Set in the Viking village of Berk, this reimagined tale follows Hiccup, a misfit boy who befriends an injured Night Fury dragon named Toothless. The film combines cutting-edge VFX with intimate character storytelling, striking a powerful balance between mythic grandeur and emotional resonance.

M3GAN 2.0 GOES HAYWIRE AND HITS THE TOP TEN!

The second and final new entry comes from M3GAN 2.0, as it lands in at Number 10 with a sequel that ups the ante with more mayhem, more A.I. horror, and sharp social commentary. This follow-up builds on the tech paranoia of the first film while exploring the evolution of M3GAN’s programming and her increasing independence. A thrilling and slyly funny horror sequel.

TWELVE DAYS UNTIL A ‘JURASSIC CLASSIC’ HITS PVOD!

And that is this week’s top ten best-selling movies. However, a large shadow is approaching the chart. In twelve short days, Jurassic World: Rebirth will hit PVOD. The seventh film in the franchise will be making its bow just over a month after it opened in cinemas. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Ed Skrein.

In the film, the world’s dinosaurs live around the equator, which provides the last viable climate for them to survive. A team travels to a former island research facility where the three largest prehistoric animals reside, with the goal of extracting samples that are vital for a heart disease treatment. The team also rescues a shipwrecked family, and both groups struggle to survive after becoming stranded on the island. Will you be prepared to get the film when it hits PVOD on August 18th? It’ll cost you the usual £15.99 rental fee or £19.99 to buy it early.

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