Holdovers and re-releases dominated the UK-Ireland box office on the session of the National Cinema Weekend promotion, with The Death Of Robin Hood the highest-placed novel title in 11th place.
Sony’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day became the fifth-highest-grossing film of all time, with a £1.6m sixth weekend (a 41% drop) taking it to £96.3m total. It is now behind only Spider-Man: No Way Home (£97.3m), No Time To Die (£98m), Skyfall (£102.8m) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (£123.3m) in the all-time chart, and is expected to overtake at least No Way Home and likely No Time To Die before the end of its run.
It has also passed 2015’s Spectre (£95.2m) to become Sony’s second-highest-grossing release, behind Skyfall.
Universal’s The Odyssey held second place for the sixth consecutive weekend on its eighth weekend in cinemas. It closed the gap closer on Brand New Day, with The Odyssey dropping 36% with £1.5m. Christopher Nolan’s epic is up to £82.8m, now the 11th -highest-grossing film ever, and likely to overtake Top Gun: Maverick (£83.9m) to make the all-time top 10 before the end of its run.
Sony horror Insidious: Out Of The Further held third place on its third weekend, with a 44% drop of £757,000 taking it to £6.5m total. It is the fourth-highest-grossing of six Insidious films, with 2011’s Insidious (£7.1m) and 2013’s Insidious 2 (£7.2m) now within reach.
Toy Story 5 was a beneficiary of the National Cinema Weekend, bouncing back into the top five on its 12th weekend in cinemas with a £419,000 weekend, down just 13% on its previous session. The Disney animated franchise title is up to £58.2m as the third-highest-grossing film of the year, and is 34th in the all-time chart.
Warner Bros’ sci-fi The End Of Oak Street maintained a top five position on its fourth weekend, falling back 46% with £354,000, bringing it to a reasonable £6.9m total.
The top five films brought in a cumulative £4.7m, a 41% drop on the previous weekend despite the National Cinema Weekend promotion. That figure is down 50% on the equivalent weekend from last year. With the promotion weekend behind them, cinemas will look for novel titles to boost takings from next weekend including Disney’s Oasis documentary Don’t Look Back In Anger, Studiocanal’s Pressure and Warner Bros’ Practical Magic 2.
