UK Box Office Weekend Report 30th June - 2nd July 2017: Despicable Me 3 tops the box office on its debut weekend and knocks Transformers down the chart

ADVERTISMENT
Despicable Me 3
This week the animated series of Despicable Me in its third incarnation, imaginatively titled Despicable me 3, removed the latest Transformers movie from the top after spending just a week at the summit. Despicable Me 3

The Despicable Me movie took a decent £11 million from the weekend, the third film, or fourth if you count Minions, in the series comes in under the second film in the series but way above the original, which is to be expected.

Worth a note, last years Minions debuted with almost the exact same gross as this movie so the series has perhaps plateaued but we will only be able to tell from future episodes.

Transformers: The Last Knight falls down to number 3 this week with a weekend gross of £1.06 million bringing the films total gross to £8 million.

Transformers fall leap frogs over Baby Driver which makes its debut at number 2 this week, the much hyped film makes £3.6 million on its debut.

Baby Driver

Directed by Edgar Write Baby Driver does better than nearly all other Write directed movies other than Hot Fuzz which was his follow up movie to the excellent Shaun of The Dead and was much hyped as well.

Also new this week is All Eyez On Me which us new at 4 with just under a million pound and quite disappointingly so The House which is new at 6 with Half a million pound.

The Boss Baby is this week the longest running film on the box office with 13 weeks and the highest total grossing with £28.5 million.
