New Releases
Rich Peppiatt’s Kneecap has grossed £1.1m at the UK-Ireland box office, after opening to £136,909 in England, Scotland, and Wales this weekend for Curzon as Disney’s Alien: Romulus held top spot on the chart for a second weekend.
Adding just over £2m from Friday to Sunday – a 46% drop – Alien: Romulus is up to £8.8m, including Bank Holiday Monday. This gives it a good chance of overtaking the £12.9m of 2017’s Alien: Covenant to become the highest-grossing title in the franchise.
Sony’s It Ends With Us starring Blake Lively held second place, falling 34.8% with £1.8m on its third weekend. The domestic abuse drama is now up to an impressive £16.3m.
Disney’s Deadpool & Wolverine was another impressive holdover performer, falling just 25.6% with £1.78m on its fifth session. The Disney release is up to a sizeable £52.6m as the second-highest-grossing film of 2024 behind Inside Out 2.
Despicable Me 4 shot up 19% on its seventh weekend in cinemas, with £1.4m bringing it to £42.4m for Universal.
New Warner Bros title Blink Twice from Zoe Kravitz rounded out the top five, opening to £746,332 from Friday to Sunday, with £955,863 including Monday.
