Disney's Frozen's latest spell at the top of the video charts shows no sign of being relinquished over the festive period as it spends a third consecutive week at number one.
Not bad for a film which came out back in March of this year, and has just recently had a re-release at the cinema in a sing-a-long version.
The video chart is fairly static this week with films simply jumping up and down, not unusual for the Christmas period and present buying.
There is a re-entry this week in the shape of The Inbetweeners at number 18, and there is a single new entry at number 20 in the shape of Sex Tape.
Sex Tape was released at the cinema on 5th September where it did enter at the top of the box office with £1.4 million.
The film hung around for 5 weeks and took a UK gross of £4.4 million.
Worth noting is that the video release only just squeezes into the chart, and in fact if you add in all the TV shows and stand up comedian videos that are so popular this time of year the film would not even have been in the top 20, it would be at 27!
After 2 weeks at the top Lucy gets knocked down the chart by Sex Tape which makes it's debut in the Uk at number 1.
Starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel this Jake Kasdan directed comedy about a couple trying to spice up their sex life by making a movie, which then gets shared to everyone debuts with £1.4 million.
Not a great opening gross especially for the 2 leads, Diaz has enjoyed great success with the Shrek franchise while Segel has seen big grosses with the likes of The Muppets, Gullivers Travels and Knocked Up.
Lucy has been having a great cinema run and after 3 weeks of release has taken a very respectable £10.46 million.
Also new this week is
Before I go to Sleep at 3
The Hundred Foot Journey at 4
The Guest at 8
Chart History
One year ago this week Richard Curtis's About Time made it's debut at the top of the box office knocking the One Direction boys to 3rd.
Five years ago District 9 was the debut film for Neill Blomkamp and it debuted at the top knocking The Final Destination into second.
Ten years ago Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks team up agin to debut the Terminal at the top knocking Dodgeball to second place.
Fifteen years ago so a very static box office with South Park Bigger Louder and Uncut staying at the top while the top new film was Go right down at six.
Finally twenty years ago this month Speed and Forest Gump where the big film at the box office while twenty five years ago Dead Poets Society and Young Einstein were the big grossing films of September.
The summer movie season is over now and it's the long slide to Christmas now. To start off the Autumn schedule we have Sex Tape, Before I go to Sleep and Life of Crime hitting cinemas this weekend.
Sex Tape stars Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel as a married couple who film a night of sex which then “accidentally” gets put online.
Fair reviews and few other rom coms out at the moment will see this get a high entry, and with Diaz and Segel both likeable stars this could even hit number one on a quiet weekend.
Before I go to Sleep is directed by the acclaimed Rowan Joffe and stars Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth with support from Mark Strong.
With an excellent pedigree the hard hitting drama should see itself enter in the top 5, maybe as high as 3.
Adapted from a Elmore Leonard book Life of Crime has it's work cut out for it as he's one hard author to adapt for the screen.
A strong acting pedigree in the shape of Jennifer Aniston, Isla Fisher and Tim Robbins should boost the films appeal and could see it just about get into the top 5.
Let us know your thoughts below and if you agree with me and come back next week to see how the box office shapes up.
In North America this week Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is still the top film of the week although a strong showing from The Purge Anarchy brought it in at number 2.
For a second straight week the Dawn of the Apes took the top spot in the US taking $36 million in the process this now takes the film total gross to $72.6 million during it's release.
The Purge Anarchy made a strong debut at 2 with $28.4 million, the sequel to the 2013 film didn't do as well as that films $34 million opening which debut at number 1.
Also new on the US box office this week is:
Plane Fire and Rescue at number 3
Sex Tape (disappointingly) at 4
