THE UK TOP TEN BEST-SELLING TITLES

This week sees the arrival of two new entries and one re-entry into the chart places. We also, once again, have a new number one title. What could these new and returning titles be, and what has taken the top spot? Grab your broomsticks as we find out.

(1) WICKED FOR GOOD

There’s a return to the summit this week as Wicked – For Good climbs back to Number 1, securing a fourth non-consecutive week at the top. Having previously enjoyed a three-week run at Number 1, the spectacular musical sequel continues to resonate with audiences thanks to its emotional storytelling, powerhouse performances and unforgettable songs as Elphaba and Glinda’s journey reaches its dramatic conclusion.

Zootropolis 2 at Number 2 maintains its strong chart presence. The animated sequel continues to charm with its sharp humour, richly imagined world and another engaging mystery for Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde.

FINISHING OFF

And that’s the end of the line for this week’s top ten film chart. As we head towards Easter (it’s only two weeks away!), Can we expect some Easter favourites to begin to make an appearance in the listings? Hop will probably show its face again before long, but what else can we expect to join it? You know what to do: join me again next week to see what’s hot and what’s not in home entertainment. So, until next time…

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