Welcome to another week and a new top 10 as Bullet Train builds momentum to claim Number 1 on the Official Film Chart this week in a high-speed race to the top. The acclaimed action film, which sees out-of-luck assassin Ladybug (played by Brad Pitt) accept a rip-roaring mission aboard the world’s fastest train, charges to the top on digital downloads alone.
Former Number 1 Jurassic World Domination is also on the climb this week. The action-packed conclusion to the Jurassic series, starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and Laura Dern, jumps one spot to Number 2.
Fun-filled animation Minions – The Rise of Gru is also on the ascent this week, back up one to Number 3. Meanwhile, high-profile book adaptation Where the Crawdads Sing makes its Top 5 debut in its second week on the chart; leaping two places to a new best of Number 4.
This week’s highest new entry comes courtesy of DC League of Super-Pets at Number 8. The animation, starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart as hounds Krypto and Ace, sees the formation of a ‘super-pet’ squad on a mission to save Superman from kidnap.
Finally, Sing 2 vaults back into the Top 10, ascending three spots to Number 9 while Downton Abbey: A New Era rounds things off by coming in at Number 10.
