Highest New Movie This Weekend
As we roll into October the low budget horror movies start to roll in and first off the mark is this movie from writer/director Parker Finn which narrowly lands at the top this weekend.
The movie has been praised by critics for being a low budget horror which is genuinely scary as the movie takes £1.86 Million.
The movie got a jump on the weekend opening on Thursday which added to the movies opening gross, whereas Don't Worry Darling had to rely on Friday - Monday box office, it would have won the weekend had things all been even.
Remaining at number 2 for a second weekend is the Olivia Wilde suburbia sci-fi/drama which takes £1.83 Million on its second weekend, a fairly good 34% drop for the controversial movie.
The movie has taken £6.1 Millon over its 2 weeks of release in the UK and it should feel a bit cheated not to have been a number 1 movie!
After loosing out last weekend with Ticket to Paradise after that movie got a 3 day head start on the weekend, and then just loosing out to Smile~2022 this weekend after that movie got its Thursday previews added to its weekend gross.
The George Clooney and Julia Roberts starring romantic comedy falls from the top to number 3 this weekend with a gross of £1.3 Million, a large 52% drop over last weekend.
The movie has now taken a total of £5.1 Million in the UK afer 2 weeks of release.
Making its debut at number 4 this weekend is the latest movie from director Anthony Fabian which takes £807,817 on its first weekend of release.
Making its debut at number 5 this Indian movie from director Mani Ratnam has become the highest opening for an Indian movie of 2022 and the highest opening Tamil language movie of all time.
The movie lands with a debut gross of £800,116.
