It’s Wednesday, which means it’s chart day and this week sees A Man Called Otto takes its place at Number 1 on the Official Film Chart.
Overtaking several previous Number 1s to take its place at the top, the Tom Hanks-starring flick manages the feat on digital download sales only.
A close second this week, Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical rebounds one place to Number 2, finishing just ahead of Puss In Boots: The Last Wish at 3.
Last week’s Number 1 Elvis drops three to Number 4, while Dwayne Johnson’s turn as DC’s Black Adam rises three to Number 5.
This week’s highest new entry is comedy-drama Babylon (6), with Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt leading an ensemble cast telling about the stories of the rise and fall of several characters in the decadent and depraved early days of Hollywood.
Top Gun: Maverick holds its place at Number 7, while Keanu Reeves enjoys two consecutive spots in the Top 10 with John Wick: Chapter 2 (8) and John Wick (9), following the release of John Wick: Chapter 4 in cinemas. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum also enjoys a place in this week’s chart at Number 14.
Finally, Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody (10) rounds off this week’s Top 10.
