Sonic the Hedgehog 2 reclaimed the top spot at the weekend, though this was less of a dramatic reversal than it at first appears. Overall takings fell by nearly 25%, possibly because of the good weather. So although the top three films shuffled places, none of them matched their £2m+ earnings of last weekend. Nonetheless, Sonic 2 has now broken the £20m barrier, outperforming the first film, so Paramount’s accountants will be demanding a Sonic 3. Operation Mincemeat, The Bad Guys and The Northman all held up pretty well, albeit at a lower level. And there’s just the one new entry this week. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, in which Nic Cage gets all meta on our asses, crawled in at number seven. That’s actually quite a good result in comparison to his regular outbursts of B movie Cage Rage, many of which don’t even reach cinema screens.
