Apparently, some popular sporting events took place over the weekend. In combination with hot and sunny weather, these rival attractions served to depress the UK box office. That said, the top four films still managed to take more than £1m apiece from the pale and sports-averse. There was no change at the top, although Spider-Man: Far from Home dropped more (48%) than Toy Story 4 (32%), following the standard pattern for superhero movies. Annabelle Comes Home was the highest new entry, with a superficially impressive £2.2m opening weekend. But this includes preview screenings, without which the killer doll threequel would have lagged behind its two predecessors. There was little interest in Stuber or Jim Jarmusch’s widely panned The Dead Don’t Die, though the zombie theme of the latter means that it’s performing better than the director’s recent releases of more limited art house appeal.
