It’s been a very long time since the top three films last took more than £1m at the UK box office, which suggests that the promised big cinema recovery is genuinely upon us. Despite all those social distancing measures, overall takings continue to rise, with the chart-topping The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It proving that multiple lockdowns have not dimmed the public appetite for franchise horror. The fact that Peter Rabbit 2 held off the challenge from Cruella in the family flick market may seem a little surprising, but the Disney prequel was released simultaneously on Disney +. Anime enthusiasts flocked to cinemas for the third new release in the chart: Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, which shattered box office records in Japan last year. Not everything is doing well, mind. Zebra Girl took a princely £615 nationwide – though, to be fair, this one was showing at only nine cinemas, mainly for a single screening on Friday.
