Official Film Chart

(1) WICKED FOR GOOD

Continuing its dominance at the summit for a third consecutive week at Number 1, Wicked – For Good remains firmly in control. The concluding chapter of the Oz saga intensifies the emotional and political fallout of Elphaba and Glinda’s choices, pairing darker themes with expansive musical set pieces as the story moves toward its dramatic resolution.

(2) THE RUNNING MAN

Making an immediate impact as a brand-new entry at Number 2, The Running Man brings a bold new take on the dystopian thriller. Set in a near-future society obsessed with spectacle, the film follows a man forced into a deadly televised contest where survival means outwitting both hunters and an unforgiving system.

(3) PREDATOR: BADLANDS

Sliding to Number 3, Predator – Badlands continues its brutal run. Set against an unforgiving landscape, the film strips the franchise back to its survival roots as humans face off against the ultimate hunter in a relentless battle of endurance.

(6) DRACULA

Now positioned at Number 6, Dracula continues its gothic spell. This modern retelling leans into psychological horror and tragic romance, exploring obsession, immortality and the cost of eternal longing through moody visuals and slow-building tension.

(7) JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH

Holding at Number 7, Jurassic World – Rebirth keeps the blockbuster spectacle alive. The film expands its vision of a world shared by humans and dinosaurs, introducing new species and escalating global stakes alongside large-scale action.
