Official Film Chart Still ‘Infected’ With 28 Years Later At The Top
The ‘infected’ still run the chart, as 28 Years Later continues its reign at the Official Film Chart summit.
Two decades after redefining modern horror, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland reunite to deliver a new chapter in the 28… saga. Anchored by Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes, the film blends harrowing suspense with intimate character drama, seen through the eyes of a child navigating a fractured Britain. Nearly three decades after the Rage Virus first tore through Britain, fragile pockets of survivors have carved out a life on a quarantined island. Among them is 12-year-old Spike, who ventures to the mainland with his father Jamie in search of a cure for his mother Isla’s mysterious illness.
Moving down from top spot but still riding high is Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (2). The 2025 action spy movie sees Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) come out of hiding two months after the events of previous instalment Dead Reckoning, battling a rogue AI known as the Entity which has seized control of the world’s nuclear arsenal. He and his IMF allies – Benji (Simon Pegg), Grace (Hayley Atwell), and a terminally ill Luther (Ving Rhames) – race to retrieve a cruciform key and the AI’s source code from a sunken Russian submarine. With Luther’s sacrificial ‘poison pill’ plan, they lure the Entity to a fortified digital vault in South Africa – but can Hunt successfully stop a global annihilation?
Two brand-new entries make a splash this week: Weapons, Warner Bros’ highly anticipated psychological thriller, lands straight into the Top 10 at Number 6, proving to be a must-watch for fans of dark, gripping cinema. Meanwhile, Master & Commander – The Far Side of the World enters the conversation at Number 8, finding a fresh wave of viewers discovering (or rediscovering) this critically acclaimed maritime epic.
Elsewhere, superhero fans keep Superman (2025) soaring high at Number 4, Jurassic World – Rebirth stomps into Number 5, and animated fun continues as The Bad Guys 2 rounds off the Top 10 with mischief and mayhem.
