We are very pleased to bring you this week’s Official Film Chart and it’s a second week at Number 1 for Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical, which continues its reign at the top based on digital download sales only.
The musical adaptation has more than doubled the sales of its closest competition, and sees an uplift on its sales last week of 18%.
Battling straight in at Number 2 is Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, this week’s biggest seller on physical formats. In this sequel to 2018’s Black Panther, the people of Wakanda must fight to protect their kingdom from intervening world powers and a brand-new threat, in the wake of King T’Challa’s death.
Top Gun: Maverick holds on tight to its Number 3 placing for another week, finishing just ahead of fellow former chart-topper Minions: The Rise of Gru which rebounds nine places to land back in the Top 10 at Number 4.
Jurassic World: Dominion rises back up one place (5), while Dwayne Johnson’s performance in Black Adam (6) drops four, closely followed by The Woman King (7). Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile returns to the Top 10 after climbing three spots (8) and Bullet Train barrels into another week in the countdown (9).
Finally, multi-BAFTA-winner Elvis – which scooped four awards at Sunday’s ceremony including Best Costume Design, and Best Leading Actor for Austin Butler’s eponymous performance – rounds off this week’s Top 10 at Number 10.
