Those poor nippers tend to be appallingly neglected during awards season. There are only so many times you can sit through Ralph Breaks the Internet and Mary bloody Poppins Returns, after all. So it’s little wonder they all flocked en masse to animated fire-breathing threequel How to Train your Dragon: The Hidden World, which enjoyed the franchise’s biggest opening by a comfortable margin. Of the two competing awards season releases, it was hardly surprising that the sappy one opened way ahead of the blackly comic bitter one. Green Book bagged second place, while the superior Can You Ever Forgive Me? took half-a-million quid at number eight. Outside the top ten, the Oscar nominated documentary Free Solo is now up to a very impressive £1.6 million after eight weeks on release.
