It’s the calm before the Bond box office storm in which just one figure matters: the size of No Time to Die‘s opening weekend. In the meantime, Disney’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings enjoyed its fourth and final weekend at the top of the chart. But this one is still just behind Black Widow and a couple of million quid away from toppling Peter Rabbit 2 as the biggest post-lockdown hit. Sopranos spin-off The Many Saints of Newark opened strongly in second place. Despite its lowly chart placing, The Green Knight scored the second-highest screen average of the week from just 73 screens.
Those weekend event cinema screenings of Oasis’s 1996 Knebworth concert were popular enough to make it the most successful documentary of 2021, while just outside the top ten The Alpinist enjoyed the biggest opening of any non-concert documentary this year.
