Cinema takings melted during the weekend heatwave as everyone flocked elsewhere. The top four films remain unchanged. Only Wonder Woman and The Mummy took more than £1m, while everything suffered whopping audience declines as a result of the unusually clement weather. Still, the former just earned the distinction of becoming the first film to enjoy three consecutive weeks at the top since Beauty and the Beast back in March. With audiences preferring to lounge on the beaches rather than fight on them, highest new entry Churchill could only manage fifth place. But like My Cousin Rachel, which is holding up comparatively well and comes to the Watershed on Friday, this one has an older-skewing audience who tend not to stampede to opening weekends in an unseemly adolescent fashion. So it’s likely to be around for a while. In any normal week, the sub-£100,000 takings of Nick Broomfield’s doc Whitney: Can I Be Me would be insufficient to qualify for a place in the top ten, but it succeeded in sneaking in at the foot of the chart.
