Welcome to The Official Film Chart.

THE UK TOP TEN

This week sees two new entries and one re-entry enter the chart. To make way, we bid farewell to Final Destination: Bloodlines, Sinners, and Wicked. But what is occupying the top spot this week? Light the fuse as we find out.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE CONTINUES TO BLAZE AT THE TOP!

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning continues to reign at Number 1 on this week’s Official Film Chart. The 2025 action spy movie sees Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) come out of hiding two months after the events of the previous instalment, Dead Reckoning, battling a rogue AI known as the Entity, which has seized control of the world’s nuclear arsenal. He and his IMF allies – Benji (Simon Pegg), Grace (Hayley Atwell), and a terminally ill Luther (Ving Rhames) – race to retrieve a cruciform key and the AI’s source code from a sunken Russian submarine. With Luther’s sacrificial ‘poison pill’ plan, they lure the Entity to a fortified digital vault in South Africa – but can Hunt successfully stop a global annihilation?

Tom Cruise plays Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning from Paramount Pictures and Skydance.

SUPERMAN FLIES IN FROM KRYPTON!

The highest new entry this week comes from Superman (2025). Written and directed by visionary filmmaker James Gunn, the film reintroduces Clark Kent for a new generation. Placing him at the heart of Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, the first wave of stories in DC’s revitalised cinematic universe. At its core, Superman (2025) is the story of a dual identity. An alien with godlike power striving to live as a man among mortals. Starring David Corenswet in a breakout turn as Clark Kent/Superman, the film explores what it means to belong. To be trusted, and to remain hopeful in a world that questions everything – even its heroes.

JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTHS AT THREE!

Jurassic World Rebirth slips down to Number 3. Set five years after Jurassic World Dominion, Earth’s climate has become largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Only an isolated equatorial zone sustains them, where the three most colossal land, sea, and air dinosaurs hold genetic material that could unlock a miraculous heart-disease cure. Covert operative Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson), with palaeontologist Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey) and team leader Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali), is dispatched to retrieve samples. They cross paths with a shipwrecked civilian family and together become stranded on a forbidden island rife with hidden horrors. Alliances form, dangers escalate, and the fate of dinosaur and humankind hangs in the balance.

THE BAD GUYS ARE BACK FOR A SECOND ADVENTURE!

The final new entry on the Official Film Chart comes from The Bad Guys 2, which reunites our reformed animal antiheroes for a globe-spanning, sky-high caper, only to be outsmarted by a cunning team of Bad Girls. With crackling wit, visual bravado, and a heart that values redemption as much as recklessness, this inventive sequel showcases that sometimes the best way to go good… is to be a little bad.

ARE YOU READY TO EXPERIENCE 28 YEARS LATER?

This week’s biggest new release is the horror sequel 28 Years Later. It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still, in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well. The film has gone straight to retail and is available to buy now.

Can the infected take down Tom Cruise and Superman next week? Join me again to see who takes the top spot. So, until then…

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