Why We Need “Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie” — Right Now  CultureSonar Fri, 22nd July 2016

In an unusual event for the box office charts an old favourite returns to the top, Disney/Pixars Finding Dory replaces the widely criticised Suicide Squad, Dory has been on release now for 4 weeks!

We are coming to the end of the School holidays in the UK and its a time when a lot of families are back from their time away so its perhaps no surprise that the box kids film of the moment returns to the top.

A fantastic 4th weekend gross of £2.8 million takes the total gross to £32.3 million, this puts the film on a level with the original Finding Nemo from 2003.

Falling into second place after 2 weeks at the top is Suicide Squad, a £2.5 million weekend brings the total gross to an fantastic £27.6 million.

This puts the DC anti-hero film ahead of the DC superhero film Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice from earlier in the year.

Highest new film of the week is a new British institution making his movie debut, David Brent Life On The Road, and although it hasn't done as well as fellow TV turned movie Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie from earlier this year, it has debuted at 3 with £1.4 million.

The Office was a big hit on TV over 10 years ago, and is still loved by fans, but it is a challenge to get that same feeling back, especially on the big screen, David Brent is maybe not a big enough draw on his own to command his own film?

The Secret Life of Pets is still the top total grossing movie of the week with £33.7 million and the longest running film with 9 weeks.

Interesting note this week, if the chart were calculated from the full weeks taking it would have been a very different picture, Suicide Squad would have retained the top, The BFG would have been 3rd and David Brent Life on the Road would have been 6th.
