Captain Marvel is the biggest film of the week as it flies into the Official Film Chart top spot on digital downloads only.
Brie Larson’s portrayal of the strongest Avenger proved a big box office hit and now leads its closest competition by nearly 3:1 in its first week of release on digital.
As a result, Fighting With My Family loses the championship belt and drops to Number 2. With Toy Story 4 in cinemas, it’s no surprise that the original Toy Story climbs one place to Number 3 with Toy Story 3 at Number 6 and Toy Story 2 at Number 8.
Former chart-topper How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World drops to Number 4; Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse jumps four spots to Number 5 following Spider-Man – Far From Home hitting the big screen.
There’s another superhero further down the Top 10 as Aquaman splashes in at Number 9, and, finally, the biggest seller of the year so far Bohemian Rhapsody returns to the Top 10 at 10.
This week’s Official Film Chart online show features a clip of Jordan Peele’s modern-day horror Us, which is available to Download & Keep from July 15. Following the success of Jordan’s Get Out, Us is another horror-thriller with a big twist and stars Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke.

Bohemian Rhapsody leads bestselling films of 2019 so far
Bohemian Rhapsody is the biggest selling film of 2019 so far, with just short of 1.5 million copies sold on disc and digital download since its release in February.
In the first half of this year the Queen biopic has spent all but one of its 21 weeks in the Top 10 and saw Rami Malek’s portrayal of Freddie Mercury winning him an Oscar for Best Actor earlier this year.
Over the first six months of 2019 there were 15 Number 1s on the Official Film Chart, all feature on the Year-To-Date Top 40.
Tom Hardy’s antihero Venom claims the Number 2 spot but is only ahead of A Star Is Born at 3 by just 1,500 sales. Five musical films claim a spot in the Top 20 – Bohemian Rhapsody, A Star Is Born, Mary Poppins Returns (4), last year’s biggest seller The Greatest Showman (7), and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (12).
There are also eight super and anti-hero adventures in the Top 40 including 2019 releases including Aquaman (6), Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (9) and Ant-Man And The Wasp (18).
