Tom Cruise is certainly pushing the envelope this week as Top Gun: Maverick flies into a third consecutive week at Number 1 on the UK’s Official Film Chart.
Still soaring ahead on sales of digital downloads only, the Tom Cruise-starring sequel has outsold the rest of the Top 10 combined to extend its impressive reign at the top of the charts; last week it was revealed that it surpassed half a million sales in just its first 11 days on sale, marking a brand new record on the Official Film Chart.Â
Downton Abbey: A New Era waltzes into another week at Number 2, becoming the biggest title of the week across physical copies on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is up two places to Number 3.Â
This week’s highest new entry is 1979 science-fiction adventure Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which enters the Official Film Chart for the very first time following the release of a newly restored Directors Edition, now available on 4K UHD for the first time.
Starring the classic series’ cast including William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley and George Takei, an alien spacecraft is spotted approaching earth and Captain James T. Kirk (Shatner) must resume command of the USS Enterprise to intercept it.Â
The original Top Gun from 1986 drops to Number 5, while Robert Pattinson’s stint as The Batman continues into a 16th consecutive week in the Top 10, holding at Number 6.Â
Our second brand new entry of the week is Good Luck To You, Leo Grande (7). Emma Thompson stars as retired, widowed teacher Nancy Stokes, who embarks on a post-marital sexual awakening with the help of Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack), only to find an unexpected human connection between them.Â
Sing 2 continues its streak inside the Top 10, rising one to Number 8 this week, and Sonic The Hedgehog 2 crosses the finish line at Number 9.
Finally, The Lord Of The Rings: Trilogy collection jumps eight places to Number 10, returning to its previous peak after climbing steadily over the last three weeks, following the release of the new television series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.Â
