Joker continues to laugh all the way to the bank, with £30m in the kitty after two weeks on release. That makes it already the seventh highest-grossing film of the year. Enjoying a more sedate but still impressive ascent in that chart is Downton Abbey, which now ranks as the ninth biggest film of 2019. Family animation Abominable got off to a good start as the highest-charting new release. But Chris Morris’s The Day Shall Come is performing rather poorly compared to his previous film, Four Lions, which took nearly four times as much during its opening weekend back in 2010. Meanwhile, that recent event cinema avalanche has been packing ’em in. S&M²: Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra is up to half a million quid, Billy Connolly: The Sex Life of Bandages has reached £435,000, and the Met Opera’s Turandot took £241,000 from just one live broadcast. But none of them can hold a candle to the NT’s Fleabag which has taken a whopping 3.8m, with more screenings still being added.
