Absolutely no change at the top as last week’s top four films hold their position while high-concept kidflick Harold and the Purple Crayon is the only new entry in the top five. Deadpool & Wolverine now ranks as the third-biggest hit of the year behind Dune 2 and Inside Out 2 after just two weeks on release and could yet overtake both of them. Despicable Me 4 also continues to do well as it powers past the £30m mark. But according to trade journal Screen Daily, overall takings for the top five are down 33.4% on the equivalent period last year, which is making the industry nervous (though that was the year of Barbenheimer). At the foot of the chart, a couple of reissues are finding new audiences – or re-connecting with old ones. Sam Raimi’s 2002 Spider-Man added another quarter of a million quid to its £29m total, while the even older Studio Ghibli animation My Neighbour Totoro (originally released in 1988) has no doubt been boosted by that recent stage adaptation.
