Frank Drebin JR questions someone in Naked Gun reboot

The laughs are back at the top of the chart this week as The Naked Gun (2025) storms straight to Number 1 on the Official UK Film Chart, marking a triumphant debut for Paramount’s reboot of the beloved comedy franchise. The film’s razor-sharp parody and slapstick antics have clearly struck a chord with audiences, putting it ahead of some serious blockbuster competition.

Flying in at Number 2, How to Train Your Dragon reignites the beloved franchise with stunning animation and a powerful emotional core. The film reintroduces Hiccup and Toothless in an all-new adventure that bridges the gap between Vikings and dragons once again. Critics have hailed it as a visually spectacular and deeply moving return to Berk that delights long-time fans and new viewers alike.

Marvel’s latest entry, Fantastic Four – First Steps, lands at Number 3, offering audiences a fresh take on the iconic heroes — Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm. With a new cast and grounded storytelling, the film sets the stage for the next major phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, balancing heartfelt drama with cosmic adventure.

In fourth place, A Minecraft Movie from Warner Home Video builds its way into the Top 5, transforming one of the world’s most iconic video games into a big-screen adventure packed with imagination and rounding out the Top 5, Superman (2025) continues to fly high for Warner Home Video, proving that the Man of Steel remains as powerful at the box office as ever.

Elsewhere in the chart, Universal Pictures’ M3GAN 2.0 is this week’s highest climber, rising 16 places to Number 6, maintaining a strong digital presence as audiences can’t get enough of the eerie AI doll’s return. Universal’s sequel expands on the first film’s commentary on AI, parenting, and obsession, with chilling new twists that have made it a streaming hit.

Musical magic takes centre stage at Number 8, with Wicked enchanting fans ahead of its theatrical sequel, while Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning from Paramount lands at Number 9, keeping Tom Cruise’s unstoppable spy saga in the action spotlight.

Finally, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy charms its way back to Number 10, as Universal Pictures’ beloved romantic comedy series continues to warm hearts and spark laughter nationwide.
