Never underestimate the popularity of scatological frat boy humour. That’s the lesson from this week’s chart. The fifth Jackass flick might have opened in second place behind Sing 2, but its £2m haul puts it ahead of all of its predecessors. Not bad going for an 18-rated film released during a pandemic. In Oscar nominations week, Jackass Forever also ranks as the biggest US film at the global box office. Although the nominations were yet to be announced in the period covered by these figures, Ken Branagh’s Belfast is holding up extremely well. West Side Story, by contrast, slipped out of the top ten. It’ll be interesting to see whether those awards nods can revive its fortunes. Each of the top five films took more than £1m over the weekend, which bodes well for the box office revival. But tradition dictates that there has to be a flop. This week’s loser was Disney’s The Eyes of Tammy Faye, which took a pitiful £34,000.
