What an amazing piece of news today with a fourth consecutive week at Number 1 on the Official Film Chart for Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical.
Marking its one month at the top, the film more than doubles the sales of its closest competition, and 60% of its sales this week were made up of digital download copies.
Holding its place at Number 2 for a third week is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which finishes just ahead of this week’s highest new entry, the British drama Living. Debuting at Number 3, Living stars Bill Nighy as a bureaucrat in 1950s London who, after receiving a fatal diagnosis, decides to live his life more fully.
Top Gun: Maverick (4) and Elvis (5) are up next, landing ahead of our second new entry of the week, 1995 crime drama Casino (having been re-released across digital download) (6) starring Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci among its iconic cast.
Chart mainstays Bullet Train (7), Black Adam (8) and Jurassic World: Dominion (9) all each enjoy another week in the Top 10 of the Official Film Chart. Finally, Harry Potter & The Philosopher’s Stone returns to the Top 10 at Number 10 after rebounding 3 places.
