There was very little change at the top this week, apart from The Festival plummeting out of the chart altogether after its rather underwhelming fifth place opening. Christopher Robin remains the reigning champ with just a slight 12% fall. Perhaps unsurprisingly, all the other major kids’ movies are also doing well, with Pixar’s The Incredibles 2 leading the field by joining the £50m+ club after seven weeks on release. BlackKklansman was the highest new entry in lowly sixth place, but this was still quite a result for director Spike Lee. It’s already eclipsed Malcolm X to rank as his second most successful film at the UK box office, behind 2006’s The 25th Hour. Despite all that hype, feeble spycom The Spy Who Dumped Me scraped in at number seven. It’s perhaps worth noting that this one wouldn’t have charted at all if it hadn’t been for all the takings from those previews being rolled up into the opening weekend total. Still, at least it did better than mediocre horror Slender Man and ‘one boy and his dog’ flick Alpha, neither of which made the top ten. Nor did the well-received The Children Act – though this was showing in just 148 cinemas, where it notched up a creditable half-a-million quid.
