THE TOP TEN RUNDOWN

This week sees a single re-entry into the chart places , while almost all of the rest of the chart shifts around as it pleases. But what is this returning title, and where has it returned? Head for outer space again as we find out.

(1) AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH

Holding firm at the top for a second consecutive week, Avatar – Fire and Ash remains at Number 1. James Cameron’s latest return to Pandora continues to impress audiences with its breathtaking visuals, expanded mythology, and darker emotional stakes, proving the enduring appeal of the blockbuster sci-fi franchise.

(2) SINNERS

Climbing two places to Number 2, Sinners continues its strong post-awards momentum. The Oscar-winning drama follows twin brothers returning to their Mississippi hometown in search of a fresh start, only to discover an even greater evil waiting to welcome them back — a haunting story of guilt, redemption, and the past that refuses to stay buried.

(5) THE HOUSEMAID

Slipping three places to Number 5, The Housemaid remains a strong performer. The psychological thriller still captivates viewers with its tense story of secrets and manipulation hidden beneath the surface of a seemingly perfect household.

(6) WICKED: FOR GOOD

Now at Number 6, Wicked – For Good continues its impressive chart run after previously securing four non-consecutive weeks at Number 1. The spectacular musical conclusion to Elphaba and Glinda’s journey remains a favorite with audiences thanks to its emotional storytelling and unforgettable songs.

(10) APOLLO 13

Rounding out this week’s chart, Apollo 13 launches back into the Top 10, climbing 12 places following the Artemis II mission to Mars last week. Ron Howard’s acclaimed space-survival drama remains a gripping cinematic classic, retelling the tense real-life mission that captivated the world through a story of ingenuity, teamwork, and determination against the odds.

UNTIL NEXT WEEK

And that is that for this week’s official top ten countdown. As we progress towards the start of May and the real summer blockbuster content, we can expect to see some of the past few months’ big releases start to filter into the chart. Films like Primate, Reminders Of Him, and The Bride! are all starting to hit retail and PVOD, and we can expect to see them make an appearance over the coming weeks.

As for next week, anything is possible. There could be many new and returning titles, or we could see a stagnant week on the chart. So, until next time…

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