28 Years Later....yet still powerful

Weekend results - June 20-20th:

#1. 28 Years Later exploded into the top spot with a massive £4,780,374 across 707 screens. This was the 9th top grossing weekend this year, behind fellow horror Nosferatu. It was also the 32nd widest release ever, behind Jurassic World: Dominion’s bow. Its opening includes £902,825 from previews.

#3. Elio made a gentle, yet hopefully, promising entrance with £971,169 from 597 screens. It was the 30th best opening of the year behind A Real Pain. Compared to 2023’s Elemental, that debuted to £3,049,002 on 623 screens. This is the worst opening for a Pixar film ever in the UK.

#7. Sitaare Zameen Par launched with £226,202 on 179 screens. Bollywood’s latest offering resonated particularly well in community markets, with the potential to grow through positive word-of-mouth.

#12. Kuberaa quietly stepped into the top 15, collecting £108,283 from just 81 screens. For a film with modest scale, that’s a confident start.

Milestone Highlights

• #4. Lilo & Stitch now stands at an impressive £34,255,710 after five weeks—proof that a well-timed re-release can tug at heartstrings and wallets alike.

• #5. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has climbed to £24,781,799. After five weeks, it’s still holding firm, cementing the franchise’s blockbuster resilience.

• #11. Final Destination: Bloodlines reached £11,407,111, becoming one of the most successful horror entries of the year.

• #15. Sinners continues to surprise: in its tenth week, it has amassed £16,113,276, a remarkable feat for a psychological thriller flying under the mainstream radar.
  

Significant Drops, But Still in the Game

• #2. How To Train Your Dragon fell sharply by 65%, earning £2,817,385 this weekend—but its total now stands at £12,693,731, currently the 8th top grossing film of the year behind Thunderbolts*. Its fall-off without previews was 51%.

• #8. Ballerina dropped 67% to bring in £194,168, pushing its total to £3,139,663.
