Director Edgar Wright brings his unique style back to the cinema in this drama horror movie Last Night in Soho which is given an 18 rating by the BBFC for strong bloody violence.
The movie stars Thomasin McKenzie as the girl in modern times and Anya Taylor-Joy as her time companion, the supporting cast include Matt Smith and Diana Rigg.
As mentioned the movie is directed by Edgar Wright who is probably best known for The Cornetto Trilogy, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Worlds End.
Movie Synopsis
An aspiring fashion designer is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s, where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer. However, the glamour is not all it appears to be, and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something far darker.
BBFC certificate breakdown.
This week the animated series of Despicable Me in its third incarnation, imaginatively titled Despicable me 3, removed the latest Transformers movie from the top after spending just a week at the summit.
The Despicable Me movie took a decent £11 million from the weekend, the third film, or fourth if you count Minions, in the series comes in under the second film in the series but way above the original, which is to be expected.
Worth a note, last years Minions debuted with almost the exact same gross as this movie so the series has perhaps plateaued but we will only be able to tell from future episodes.
Transformers: The Last Knight falls down to number 3 this week with a weekend gross of £1.06 million bringing the films total gross to £8 million.
Transformers fall leap frogs over Baby Driver which makes its debut at number 2 this week, the much hyped film makes £3.6 million on its debut.
Directed by Edgar Write Baby Driver does better than nearly all other Write directed movies other than Hot Fuzz which was his follow up movie to the excellent Shaun of The Dead and was much hyped as well.
Also new this week is All Eyez On Me which us new at 4 with just under a million pound and quite disappointingly so The House which is new at 6 with Half a million pound.
The Boss Baby is this week the longest running film on the box office with 13 weeks and the highest total grossing with £28.5 million.
It was a claws out at this weekends box office as Kong Skull Island and Logan fought it out for the top spot and the new relese of Kong won the battle.
From the same production team that brought us Godzilla in 2014 Kong Skull Island is set in the same universe and is set to start a "monsters" universe similar to that of the Marvel and DC cinematic universes.
Kong opens similar to Godzilla with just over £6 million, but the film was far better received than Godzilla with the critics with a surprise amount of praise for the monster film.
Godzilla went on to gross £17 million in the UK and there is nothing to suggest this wont do similar if not better.
Logan falls into second place this week with £3.8 million after a single week at the top, this brings the films total gross to £16 million after 10 days of release.
This means that on its second weekend the film is already the best of the solo Wolverine movies and it still has plenty of milage left.
A couple of interesting things to note this week, if the chart were taken on a Monday - Sunday then Logan would have still been the top film.
Also Moulin Rouge which is on a Secret Cinema run at the moment and is number 13 on the weekend chart would have been number 4 with £2 million for the week.
There are no other new released in the top 10 this week but Elle makes a new entry at number 11 with £0.2 million and Dancer is new at 12 also with £0.2 million.
Longest run this week is Lion with 8 weeks on the chart and highest total grossing movie is Sing with £28 million.
