UK box office top 5 weekend breakdown 29th April - 1st May 2022

Downton Abbey: A New Era

Director Simon Curtis takes over duties from Michael Engler in the sequel to the aristocratic TV show turned movie series.

Taking £3 Million over the weekend the movie easily takes over from Sonic the hedgehog 2 which returned to the top last weekend.

The movie has not had as good a debut at its predecessor which was released in September 2019 and hit the top with a £5 Million debut, and went on to stay there for 3 weeks, there is a strong suspicion this will be de-throned this coming weekend.

Popularity for the series has waned over the years since the TV show ended but a £10 - 15 Million run is possible for this sequel.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

The video game adaptation sequel this week became the top grossing movie based on a video game of all time, taking over from its predecessor Sonic the Hedgehog.
