Welcome to the Official UK Box Office Top 10, your front-row ticket to the biggest movies lighting up UK cinemas! From loving romances and magical family adventures to the hottest new releases, we’re counting down the films pulling in the crowds, battling for box office supremacy, and keeping audiences glued to the big screen.
And what a weekend it’s been! Five new films stormed into the chart, with four crashing straight into the top four! Leading the charge is Wicker, which has been scoring serious raunchy business at the box office. But who claimed the crown, who climbed the charts, and which films took a tumble? There’s plenty to unpack, so grab your popcorn and settle in as we break down this week’s Official UK Box Office Top 10!
(1) Wicker
Wicker squeaked into the number one spot with a total of £1,757,185, just £10,000 more than the film below it. It’s a good opening for the film, especially considering its raunchy rom-com nature.
(2) Primetime
Primetime just missed out on the number one spot at the UK box office, and it came in with £1,747,043. A24’s last movie, Tony, opened to £402,472, so Primetime is a massive increase on this.
(3) Ghosts: The Possession of Button House
Ghosts: The Possession Of Button House fell 38% in its second weekend, an excellent hold for the film. It was the perfect Halloween film for younger audiences, and its box office total reflected that. Its overall total sits at £6,335,031.
(4) Clayface
Clayface fell only 39% in its second weekend, and brought in a total of £1,230,587. This is an excellent hold for the DC film and exactly what it needed to stay on track. Audiences clearly like the take on the character, and it’s different from how they felt about the Sony Spider-Man villain films.
(5) Wildwood
Wildwood fell one spot at the UK box office in its second weekend to number five, with a total of £646,944. It only fell 37%, for a very good hold. Unfortunately, the overall number is still weak, and will only soften the box office flop.
(6) Forgotten Island
Forgotten Island again managed to stick in audiences’ minds for a third weekend, and pulled in £621,929 for a 34% drop. Overall, its overall total so far is £5,162,524.
(7) Street Fighter
Street Fighter pulled in £477,941 in its third weekend of release, down 53% from its previous weekend. It’s struggling at the box office and has pulled in a total of £5,722,764. Check out our exclusive interview with the cast here.
(8) Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom
Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom not only stayed in the top ten, but jumped two places. It came in with £282,186, only a 10% drop from last weekend. The film has made £5,729,975 overall.
(9) Verity
Verity brought in £265,076 in its fifth weekend of release, dropping to the number nine spot. Its overall total is £11,635,161, with it again staying relevant for audiences.
(10) Other Mommy
In its fourth weekend of release, Other Mommy drew in £258,515. Overall, the film has brought in £5,382,469, which isn’t bad for the film. It is likely in its last weekend in the top ten, as new entrants arrive.
Next weekend brings a trio of exciting new arrivals to the big screen, with Godzilla Minus Zero, I Play Rocky, and the highly acclaimed Wild Horse Nine all stampeding into cinemas. That means the box office could look very different by this time next week!
Will Wicker manage to hold on to the crown? Can Wildwood climb the charts once again? Or will Wild Horse Nine, fresh from its festival success, gallop straight into the number one spot? Then again, could they all fall victim to the unstoppable power of the King of the Monsters?
One thing’s for sure: Godzilla is coming, and nobody is safe! Check back next week to see how the dust settles!
