Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again returns for a third week atop the Official Film Chart after once again dancing ahead of the competition. Last week’s highest new entry The Meg swims up four places to follow at Number 2, following its release on disc.
This week’s highest new entry at Number 3 is The Equalizer 2, the action-packed Denzel Washington sequel which sees him reprise his role as a retired CIA operative now working a regular day job, while moonlighting as a vigilante. After a long-time friend is murdered, he sets off across the globe on a mission to avenge her.
Debuting at Number 4 this week is heart-warming family film Christopher Robin, starring Ewan McGregor as the titular character. Robin returns to the Hundred-Acre Wood as an adult after bumping into his old friend Winnie The Pooh.
The biggest film of the year so far, The Greatest Showman, is at Number 5, Mission: Impossible – Fallout drops to Number 6, Ant-Man And The Wasp settles at Number 7, and The Grinch steals the Number 8 position.
Finally, previous Film Chart Number 1 Incredibles 2 swoops down one place to Number 9, ahead of the third new entry on this week’s chart, WWI documentary They Shall Not Grow Old, at Number 10.
The Official Film Chart is unveiled each Wednesday and is the subject of a Top 10 Official Film Chart online show, published on OfficialCharts.com and available for media syndication. The show counts down the top 10 biggest selling movies on disc and download of the week and also includes bonus “coming soon” content for film lovers.
This week’s Official Film Chart online show features an exclusive deleted scene from Idris Elba’s Yardie which is available on DVD and Blu-ray on Boxing Day.
As Christmas approaches, Official Charts is unveiling the best-selling festive feature film of all time on disc (DVD and Blu-ray) and the crown goes to Love, Actually, which has sold more than 3.5 million copies since its release in 2004. The Richard Curtis classic is a star-studded affair following the lives of eight different couples in a frantic month before Christmas including Hugh Grant as the UK’s Prime Minister.
The top animated Christmas film, The Polar Express, sits at Number 2 and is followed by two films that are still selling well today; The Grinch (currently at Number 8 in this week’s Official Film Chart) and Elf. The oldest film on the Top 10 list, landing at 7, is 1946’s It’s a Wonderful Life starring James Stewart, and is also the only title in the list in black and white.
Rounding off the top 10 is the 1994 remake of Miracle on 34th Street (8), Santa Claus: The Movie (9) and Macaulay Culkin gets left Home Alone at 10.
