It’s another triumphant week for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes as the movie reigns for a fourth week at Number 1 on the Official Film Chart, narrowly blocking The Fall Guy from ending its tenure.
The Sci-Fi film now matches Dune: Part Two for the longest consecutive run at Number 1 this year, four weeks, which Dune has done twice.
Meanwhile, The Fall Guy rebounds back to its previous peak of Number 2, only a handful of sales behind, finishing ahead of this week’s highest new entry Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 which debuts at Number 3.
Directed and written by and starring Kevin Costner, with Sienna Miller also starring, Horizon chronicles 15 years of the Old West, including the American Civil War and its aftermath.
Meanwhile, Meg 2: The Trench bounces back up four (4) finishing ahead of family favourite IF (5) which drops three. Period crime drama The Bikeriders falls one place (6) while Twister tumbles three (7) and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is down two (8).
Dune: Part Two lifts one week-on-week to Number 9, switching places with Civil War which rounds out this week’s countdown at Number 10.
