UK Box Office Report 10 - 12 June 2016: Me Before you climbs to the top while The Boss enters at number 7

ADVERTISMENT
Me Before You
Its still unusual that a film will climb to the top of the box office, but this week with many people otherwise occupied with the start of the Euro 2016 championships Me Before You climbs to the top.

Last week the film entered at number 3 but this week manages to top the chart, and is the only film this week to take over £1 million in weekend grosses.

The film now has a total UK gross of £4.4 million and with the Euro's taking our attention for the next 3 weeks the field is open for anything to happen in the coming weeks!

With a lot of studio's not willing to release new film at the moment the rest of the chart reads very similar to last week, the highest new film is the Melissa McCarthy vehicle The Boss at number 7 which manages to gross just below £600,000 for the weekend.

Highest total grossing movie is The Jungle Book which has taken £45.1 million after 10 weeks and longest run on the chart is Zootopia which has been around for 11 weeks.

Worthy or not this week is that cinema's had the lowest takings of 2016 and the lowest since September last year, no surprise really since the football is sweeping the nation.
