We are coming to the end of the School holidays in the UK and its a time when a lot of families are back from their time away so its perhaps no surprise that the box kids film of the moment returns to the top.
A fantastic 4th weekend gross of £2.8 million takes the total gross to £32.3 million, this puts the film on a level with the original Finding Nemo from 2003.
Falling into second place after 2 weeks at the top is Suicide Squad, a £2.5 million weekend brings the total gross to an fantastic £27.6 million.
This puts the DC anti-hero film ahead of the DC superhero film Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice from earlier in the year.
Highest new film of the week is a new British institution making his movie debut, David Brent Life On The Road, and although it hasn't done as well as fellow TV turned movie Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie from earlier this year, it has debuted at 3 with £1.4 million.
The Office was a big hit on TV over 10 years ago, and is still loved by fans, but it is a challenge to get that same feeling back, especially on the big screen, David Brent is maybe not a big enough draw on his own to command his own film?
The Secret Life of Pets is still the top total grossing movie of the week with £33.7 million and the longest running film with 9 weeks.
Interesting note this week, if the chart were calculated from the full weeks taking it would have been a very different picture, Suicide Squad would have retained the top, The BFG would have been 3rd and David Brent Life on the Road would have been 6th.
Robert has been a film buff since he first visited the old Palace Cinema in High Wycome when he was young.
After working for Ritz Video Film Hire, later Blockbuster Express, it cemented his interest in film and gave him the drive to go to university with the intention of working in the industy.
6 years of college/university studying film and Culture and he decided to take a different path, so he taught himself to develop websites.
8 years at Amazon, 3 years at eBay, a year at PayPal and 6 years running his own digital marketing agency and here we are writing and developing saltypopcorn.co.uk.
