Official Film Chart

(1) MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE- THE FINAL RECKONING

Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning surges 10 places back up to the coveted Number 1 spot this week, claiming its third non-consecutive week. The final chapter in the espionage saga lands a decisive victory on disc and digital, fuelled by word of mouth for its climactic scale and franchise-farewell status.

(2) DOWNTON ABBEY: THE GRAND FINALE

Making a momentous debut at Number 2, Downton Abbey – The Grand Finale brings the beloved period drama to a stately close. Loyal fans have turned out in force to own the concluding chapter, which delivers wedding bells, legacies and long-awaited resolutions.

(3) JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH

At Number 3, Jurassic World – Rebirth roars back into the Top 5, slipping one place from last week’s runner-up slot. The franchise finds fresh teeth with a new cast and a grounded, survival-driven tone that has kept collectors engaged.

(4) THE CONJURING: LAST RITES

The supernatural continues to haunt the chart at Number 4, as The Conjuring – Last Rites drops gently from last week’s summit. The long-running demonology universe shows continued resilience with an instalment pitched as the Warrens’ last case.

(5) A MINECRAFT MOVIE

A Minecraft Movie stacks itself in at Number 5, sliding two places from last week, yet still demonstrating considerable pull with families and gamers translating pixel nostalgia to repeat viewings.

(6) WICKED

At Number 6, Wicked drops one, continuing to post healthy week-on-week numbers on the back of its show-tune pedigree, bright spectacle and strong ensemble.

(7) HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON

How to Train Your Dragon (2025) settles at Number 7 after a one-place easing. The revival chapter in the animated saga sustains interest with its tender tone and sky-set scale.

(8) PRACTICAL MAGIC

Casting a late-season charm from deep outside the Top 20, Practical Magic conjures itself up to Number 8, up sixteen places from last week — a remarkable rebound for the 1998 cult favourite, likely riding a seasonal comfort-rewatch wave.

(10) 28 YEARS LATER

Completing the list at Number 10, 28 Years Later maintains its footing for a second week running — a slow-burn but durable presence as audiences absorb the bleak, generational follow-up to a landmark British horror property.

UNTIL NEXT WEEK

And that’s all there is for this week. Will we see some classic horror movies entering the placings next week as we count down towards Halloween? Anything is possible, so until next time…

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