UK Box Office Weekend Report 7th - 9th February 2020: Dolittle beats Birds Of Prey to the top and 1917 falls to number 3 meanwhile Oscar darling Parasite debuts well

Who would have thought it, Robert Downey Jr. stars in the new movie Dolittle which above expectations easily beats out Margot Robbie and the Birds Of Prey to make its debut at the top leaving the ladies to debut at number 2, meanwhile 1917 falls to number 3 and Oscar darling Parasite makes a good debut.

Dolittle

Despite getting a good panning from the critics the money paying audience did not listen and the Robert Downey Jr. starring vehicle makes its debut at the top with an excellent gross of £5 Million.

This is getting on fos double that of the new film at number 2 this weekend and far better than anyone could have expected.

It will have a big problem beating the new Sonic The Hedgehog film released next weekend but it can at least bask in its glory this week.

Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn)

I'm sure Warner Bros. expected this to fly in at the top of the box office this weekend but the film has come up short being beaten by Dolittle.

The Margot Robbie starring movie debuts at number 2 this week with £2.8 million.

1917

After spending an excellent 4 weeks at the top of the UK box office Sam Mandes war movie, which missed out on the best film Oscar this weekend, falls to number 3 with £2.2 Million.

This pushes the film total gross to £35.8 Million after 5 weeks of release.

Parasite

What turned out to be the Oscar darling at this years ceremony makes id debut on the UK box office at number 4 with a weekend gross of £1.4 Million.

The film will go into more cineas in the coming week so expect next weeks weekend gross to maybe be higher than this week.

bad Boys For Life

Will Smith and martin Lawrence fall to number 5 this week with a little over a Million over the weekend pushing the films total gross to £12.3 Million after 3 weeks.

Frozen II

Disney's sequel movie falls to number 15 this weekend but it has the longerst run on the box offie with 12 weeks and the highest total gross with £52.9 Million.
