A perfect storm of hot, sunny weather and the national football team not being quite as crap as usual (description correct at time of writing) makes this a grim period for the film exhibition industry. Ocean’s 8 managed to depose Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom from the top of the chart, but we probably shouldn’t make too much of the massive drops in earnings recorded by all the blockbusters on release. (For the record, however, Solo: A Star Wars Story continues to fall more quickly that its rivals, dropping another 62% this week.) Enjoying an expanded release, Rupert Everett’s The Happy Prince snuck into ninth place, although the Wilde biopic’s weekend takings of just over £150,000 wouldn’t have been sufficient for it to chart in any normal week. Unsurprisingly, the big loser was the remake of Overboard that nobody asked for. This took just £19,000 nationwide.
