Here Is a Breakdown of the Uk Box Office Top 5 23rd 25th October 2020

Two By Two: Overboard!

Makings its debut at the top of the box office is the animated sequel to Two By Two from 2015 which took £566,871 on its debut.

The follow up takes £329.265 on its debut weekend, which in the current COVID-19 climate of actually a good debut, the half term holiday will have helped.

Honest Thief

Honest Thief

Liam Neeson brings his latest revenge thriller to the big screen and makes a debut at number 2 with £254,267.

It is worth noting that although Two By Two: Overboard! is the top film this is with previews and over the 3 day weekend this would have been the top movie.

The Secret Garden

Given the half term week I would have thought this new adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel would have done better but a debut at 3 with £154,087 is still good.

The original adaptation of the novel was in 1994 and starred Maggie Smith and was directed by Agnieszka Holland, it took over £3 Million at the box office.

Tenet

Despite the fact that Warner Bros. has not been pleased with the performance of this movie it spent 8 weeks at the top and only on its 9th weekend of release falls to number 4 with £134,968, 28% down from last weekend.

The movie is the 5th hight grossing movie of 2020 with £17.7 Million so far.

Pixie

This British heist movie directed by Barnaby Thompson lands on the chart at number 5 this week with £116,517.

It has had good reviews from critics so the future could be good for the movie and a long chart run possible.
