UK box office QuickView
United Kingdom box office top 5 box office breakdown weekend 29th - 31st October 2021
Far and away the biggest hit of 2021 (so far) goes back to the top of the UK box office in a very tight battle with Dune with the Bond movie winning the race by just £202,149.
Daniel Craigs final Bond outing takes £3.5 Million over the weekend, a very slim 25% drop over last weekend when it fell to number 2.
This gives the movie a total UK gross of £85.9 Million over its 5 weeks of release, this also makes it the top movie of 2021 and the 5th top movie ever in the UK.
Unlike Tenet last year, which was released too early, the Bond movie, which has a bigger appeal anyway, has got people to go back to cinemas, and for the 5th weekend running the box office top 15 has grossed over £15 Million, something which hasn't happened since the end of 2019 start of 2020 when Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was released.
Also the movie has broken the record to most consecutive days grossing over £1 Million, it currently stands at 33 days.
Director Denis Villeneuve's take on the classic sci-fi movie falls to number 2 this weekend with £3.3 Million, this gives it a very good 44% drop on its second weekend of release.
This gives the movie a total gross of £13.2 Million and it pushes it into the top 10 movies of 2021 at number 9.
Staying put at number 3 this weekend is the Spiderverse villain movie which takes £1,5 Million on its 3rd weekend, a good 39% drop over last week, giving the movie a total UK gross of £14.7 Million and the 7th top movie of 2021.
The animated sequel goes back up to number 4 this weekend with a take of £1.4 Million, and increase of 40% over last weekend, largely due to the school autumn half term.
This gives the movie a total gross of £8.9 Million over 4 weeks of release.
