UK box office top 5 weekend breakdown 5th - 7th November 2021

Eternals

Eternals

Directed by Oscar winner Chloe Zhao the latest movie from Marvel Studios lands at number 1 this weekend with a debut gross of £5.4 Million.

This is lower than this years Black Widow which came in at £6.5 Million but in the same ball park as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

The movie has a hard to ahead as there are a number of high profile movies on the horizon which could take audience away, least of all MCU stable mate Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the movie has had some unfavourable reviews.

No Time To Die

Bond movie number 25 falls to number 2 this weekend with a gross of £1.9 Million, a 44% decline from last weekend where it went back to the top of the chart.

The movie has taken £89.8 Million over its 6 weeks of release and it is the top movie of 2021 by some margin, and I suspect it will stay there as none of the holiday movie release will have the strength to take nearly £100 Million.

The movie is the 5th top movie of all-time in the UK and as soon as it takes Avatar it will be all Bond in the top 5 except for the top movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and I dont see it breaking that movies £123 Million gross.

Dune

Director Denis Villeneuve sci-fi noval adaptation falls to number 3 this weekend with £1.5 Million on its 3rd weekend of release, a 53% decline over last weekend.

The movie has taken £16.8 Million in the UK so far which makes it the 5th top grossing movie of 2021.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage
