That’s a third week at the top for Black Widow. The highest new entry was M. Night Shyamalan’s Old, which performed rather poorly, taking less than £1m to claim fourth place. All three big family flick sequels on release – Space Jam: A New Legacy, The Croods 2: A New Age, and the evergreen Peter Rabbit 2 (still the biggest post-lockdown hit) – enjoyed increases in takings as the school holidays kicked in. At the foot of the chart, boilerplate Britcom Off the Rails took a fairly mediocre £80,000 nationwide, but at least this put it ahead of frontier lesbian romance The World to Come, which bagged a woeful £12,400. That’s just £119 per cinema. Maybe the sparse audience should have been asked to pay a surcharge for having their viewing pleasure enhanced by the authentic tumbleweed experience.
