300: Rise of An Empire
All change on the UK video chart this week with 300 Rise of an Empire taking over at the top and Disney absolutely dominating throughout the chart.

300 Rise of an Empire was released in the Uk on 7th March this year and entered the box office at the top of the chart with a debut weekend gross of £2.8 million.

The film hung around the chart 5 weeks making a steady slide down the chart with each week, ending it's run on 4th April with a total gross of £7.7 million.

Across the world it did well taking a global gross of $331 million and is the 268th highest grossing movie of all time.

Last weeks top film, Legends of Oz Dorothys Return, makes a spectacular fall to number 13 on this week list.

Worth a strong mention this week is Disney's dominance, with a 2 for 1 sale on their disks at the moment they hold 11 places on the top 20, as well as Frozen climbing back up to number 2.
