ADVERTISMENT
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
No Surprise on this weeks UK box office, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the top film of the weekend, in fact it is more of a case of did it manage to do better than Star Wars: The Force Awakens?

With less anticipation it didn't do as well at Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but it did better than last years offshoot Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, although the reviews are no where near as good.

An opening weekend of £28 million is the 3rd highest in the UK ever with only the previous Star Wars movie and Spectre doing better, time will tell what the final gross will be but with mixed reviews it will most likely be around the £90 million mark and be a top 5 all time movie in the UK.

Paddington 2 falls from the top to number 2 while Daddy's Home 2 is at number 3.

Wonder is still doing well at number 4 with Justice League falling to number 5 this week.
