The LEGO Ninjago Movie officially deposes Blade Runner 2049 after just one measly week at the top. Look a little more closely, however, and you’ll realise that this is not much of a victory. The LEGO flick would have been placed second had an entire previous weekend of previews not been included. Even with these, its opening ‘weekend’ is less than half that achieved by that previous two LEGO flicks. The Blade Runner sequel, meanwhile, continues to do better business in the UK than in the US and has now overtaken Arrival to become director Denis Villeneuve’s biggest UK box office hit. The Snowman struggled to make much of an impact, as did this week’s horror movie, The Ritual, though its distributors will be hoping for a Halloween boost. In the battle of the arthouse flicks, Sally Potter’s The Party took £1,000 more per screen than the much-hyped Loving Vincent, which opened in nearly twice as many cinemas. And the oddly named Botoks? That’s a Polish hospital drama from the distributors of Pitbull: Tough Women, underlining the increasing pre-Brexit pulling power of Polish-language movies at the UK box office.
