The Super Mario Bros. Movie
It will most likely be the last weekend at the top for The Super Mario Bros. Movie but the top grossing movie of 2023 so far spends a fourth weekend at the top of the UK box office pushing its total gross to over £45 Million after 4 weeks of release.

With the horror movie Evil Dead Rise staying at number 2 with a gross of just over a million the top new movie of the weekend is The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry starring Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton which takes £784,698 on its debut.

Also new this weekend is Ponniyin Selvan: Part Two taking £618,244 on its debut and there is a new entry for the 40th Anniversary rerelease of the much loved classic Star Wars: Return of the Jedi at number 7 with £446,291

Maybe a little disappointing is the debut place for Polite Society which enters the box office at 9 with £220,278.

Finally inside outside the top 10 is Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World which debut's with £204,220.
