He might fall from tall buildings or roll a brand new car but this week sees The Fall Guy finally earning its place at Number 1 on the Official Film Chart.
The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, has unseated Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes from its four-week stint at the top, claiming the Number 1 position in its 10th week on the chart. This is one of the longest rises to Number 1 we’ve seen for some time.
This week’s Top 10 list sees lots of previous Number 1s flying back up and into the Top 10, including this week’s Number 3, Dune: Part Two, which jumps six places. Other former chart-toppers on the rebound include Barbie (6), up 18 places, Anyone But You (7), up six, and Wonka (9), up 19.
Last week’s highest new entry Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 drops to Number 4, while Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire rises three to Number 5.
Meg 2: The Trench falls four places to Number 8, as does The Bikeriders, which finishes the week at Number 10.
