We all know there are no new big blockbusters coming out at the moment, and Tenet is still at the top for a 6th weekend, but comparing this to the amazing 6 week number 1 run of Joker from 2019 is unfair.
I suspect Tenet would not have been a 6 weeks number 1 under normal circumstances, 2 maybe 3 at the most, and although the total gross in the UK would have been in the £10 of million it would not have had the press the movie got.
Still we are where we are and its till the top film in the UK, and Cats & Dogs: Paws Unite! is the top new film at number 2!
Here is a quick look breakdown of this week top 15 box office.
- Number 1 - Tenet (6 weeks)
- Highest debut - Cats & Dogs: Paws Unite! (@2)
- Longest run - Onward (17 weeks)
- Highest total gross = Tenet (£15,948,191)
Here is a breakdown of the top 5 movies in the UK 2nd - 4th October 2020.
Tenet
The Christopher Nolan directed movie is now 6 weeks at number 1 equalling the runs of The World Is Not Enough (1999) and Joker (2019), it takes just £628.2K this weekend which is only 3% down from last weekend.
This puts the movies total gross at £15.9 Million after 6 weeks, and as expected it is the top grossing movie since cinemas re-opened and the 6th highest of 2020 overtaking Dolittle.
Cats & Dogs: Paws Unite!
Top new movies of the weekend is the third film in the Cats & Dogs series which takes £456.5K on its debut.
This is a movie very much aimed at children, can we expect a massive drop next weekend or will the current climate keep it in the top 5?
After We Collided
After a fantastic start to its box office run the Roger Kumble directed teen drama falls to number 3 this weekend with £390.2K, a drop of 24% from last weekend.
The movie has now taken quite an amazing £3.1 Million after 5 weeks of release.
The movie has now entered the top 20 movies for 2020 at number 20 and with its current pace at the box office could go higher.
Bill & Ted Face The Music
The third Bill & Ted movie has had a hard time with its box office takings, but it does spend a third weekend on the chart this weekend with a gross of £146.5K, although this is a 32% drop from last weekend.
This gives the movie a 3 week total of just over £1 Million, not bad for a movie which can onto VOD day and date with cinema.
The Elfkins
Both new releases in the top 5 this weekend were children's film and this Ute von Munchow-Pohl directed movie lands at 5 with £131.3K on its debut.
With no box office charts being produced during the now global COVID-19 pandemic lets take a look at the home entertainment charts once again.
Frozen II unsurprisingly remains at the top, as it will do for the foreseeable future I expect, but we see a high new entry as Jumaji: The Next Level enters at number 2.

Jumanji: The Next Level

The film is the highest new entry on this week chart at number 2.
Knives Out
Rian Johnsons whodunnit movie starring Daniel Craig remains at number 3 this week as it spends a third week on the chart.

Bad Boys For Life had a good run at the top of the US box office but its time for a change and this weekend Margot Robbie and her gang of trouble makers hit the top in Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn).
Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn)
Makings its debut at the top of the US box office the spiritual follow-up to Suicide Squad with Harley Quinn leading the way as she joins up with the Birds Of Prey to down a Billionaire criminal.
The film took $33.2 Million over the weekend which is perhaps a little lower than was expected, and if lower than Suicide Squad and Joker from last year.
Bad Boys For Life
After 3 weeks at the top the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence buddy cop movie falls to number 2 this week with $12 Million.
The film now has a total gross of $166.3 million and although not as good as your average superhero movie is far better than anyone could have expected from the movie.
1917
The award darling war movie (altohugh it didn't get the Oscar) falls to number 3 this weekend with $9 Million pushing its total gross after 7 weeks of release to $132.5 Million.
Dolittle
Robert Downey Jr. screen adaptation of the classic novel falls to number 4 this weekend with $6.6 pushing the film to $63.9 Million after 4 weeks.
Jumanji: The Next Level
Dwayne Johnson and his gang trapped in a video game falls to number 5 this week with $5.5 Million giving the film a 9 week total of $298.4 Million, it should pass $300 Million by next weekend.
Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker
The Sci-Fi space opera falls to number 10 this weekend but it does have the highest total gross on the chart with $510.5 Million from 8 weeks of release.
Parasite
The South Korean movie has been in cinemas in the US now for 18 weeks, and altohugh they have not all been on the top 15 it does have the longest run of films inside the top 15.
The movie was the Oscar darling this year winning both best director and best movie which will bring a new audience to the movie and we could see the film around for a bit longer to come.
Todd Phillips movie Joker leads the pack of Oscar nomination with 11 nods including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor.
Other notable entries include Scarlett Johansson getting 2 nomination for The Marriage Story and JoJo Rabbit.
The Best Actress award is always one of the most open but the big money will be on Renée Zellweger for Judy, especially as Jennifer Lopez didn't even get recognition for Hustlers.
For The Marriage Story lead actor Adam Driver also gets a nomination but we all know the award on the night will go to Joaquin Phoenix in Joker.
Little Women did very well with nominations as well with Saoirse Ronan getting a nod for Best Actress and Florence Pugh getting the recognition for Best Supporting Actress.
Sam Mendes will likely walk away with Best Director and his film 1917 is odd on favourite to win Best Feature on the night.
The ceremony is on 9th February 2020 and once again there will be no host after the success of last years hostless ceremony.
