UK box office top 5 weekend breakdown 8th - 10th October 2021
No surprises at all that the 25th Bond movie, and Daniel Craigs last, is still at the top on its second weekend, in fact no studio has released anything that could even challenge the movie, that comes next weekend.
The movie takes £15.2 Million on its second weekend which is a resonable 41% drop over its debut, this gives the movie a total UK gross of £52.6 Million.
It's confusing looking at how this compares with other Daniel Craig Bond movies, its not as good as Spectre, but in reality that movie had been out for 14 days by this point, its about the same as Skyfall but that movies wasn't released during a pandemic that closed cinemas for nearly 6 months, but its far better than Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale, one thing is for certain, the Daniel Craig era has been the most successful.
The movie is by far the top film of 2021 in the UK.
A sequel to the 2019 animated hit The Addams Family was always going to happen, and after a difficult year for cinema the sequel movie makes its debut at number 2 this weekend.
The movie takes a reasonable £2 Million on its debut, which is very similar to the originals debut at the same time of year in 2019.
Marvels smash hit movie falls to number 3 this weekend with a gross of £558,407, a slim 28% drop considering the movie is on its 6th weekend of release.
The total UK gross for the film sits at £20.5 Million, the second highest grossing movie of 2021 in the UK.
Marvel are set to have another good year at the box office after having no new movies for over a year, Black Widow did well a few months ago, and flowing this will be Eternals in a few weeks and Spider-Man: No Way Home in December both of which are setting themselves up to be massive holiday movies.
The animated kids film continues to do well at the box office and this weekend stays put at number 4 with £125,902, a 50% drop over last weekend, giving the movie a total UK gross of £8.3 Million over 9 weeks of release.
The prequel movie to The Sopranos stays put at number 5 this weekend with £125,404, a 47% drop, giving the movie a UK total of £1.8 Million after 3 weeks.
