THE PVOD CHOICE IS YOURS THIS BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND!

And that is that for this week’s official UK top ten. As we head towards the bank holiday weekend, PVOD has given you a choice: Mario or Mummy? Hitting the premium video on demand market, asking for your cash is the animated family sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, if you want something that everyone can sit down with and enjoy. Or, for the adults only, there is director Lee Cronin’s version of The Mummy, a grisly, scary, and gruesome take on the material. Both are entertaining, for differing reasons, and the choice is yours if you want to rent either for £15.99 or buy them early for £19.99 each.

Will either of the new PVOD releases bother the top spot next week, or will Project Hail Mary manage to hold them off? You know what to do. So, until time…

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