It’s a fantastic week for the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 as not only does the movie hold on to claim a second week at Number 1 on the Official Film Chart but it’s also being announced that the third instalment of James Gunn’s “Guardians” trilogy will be available for streaming on August 2 for all Disney+ subscribers, which comes three months after the film first hit cinemas.
More than doubling the sales of its closest competition, the latest Marvel sequel manages the feat on digital downloads only. Also landing a place in the Top 3 thanks to only digital sales is Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves at Number 2, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie which rebounds three to Number 3.
Scream VI sprints back into the chart at Number 4, with the former chart-topper enjoying its place in the Top 10 for the first time since May, thanks to its release on DVD, Blu-ray & 4K UHD.
Next up, more Number 1s continue to claim their place in the chart: John Wick: Chapter 4 holds strong at Number 5, Avatar: The Way of Water drops three to Number 6, Fast X is also down three at Number 7, and Top Gun: Maverick holds tight at Number 8. Venom: Let There Be Carnage jumps three to Number 9, returning to the Top 10 for the first time since early 2022.
Finally, a brand new entry rounds out this week’s Top 10; Evil Dead Rise, the fifth instalment of the Evil Dead film series, scares its way to Number 10 on digital downloads only.
