UK box office Quickview
Here is the top 5 box office movie breakdown 18th - 20th December 2020.
Warner Bros. have released 2 potential blockbusters during the pandemic, Tenet back in August which was supposed to re-invigorate the box office and now this DC Universe movie, no other studio has done this, and looking at the box office tickets you can perhaps see why!
The Wonder Woman sequel opens in the UK during a very difficult time for cinemas as a majority of the country is in a forces lockdown, and cinemas that are open can only fill to about 25% because of the pandemic which is just getting worse.
The movie opens to a weekend box office of £846,435 (since its Wednesday openeing) although this is 70% of the total weekend marketplace.
The movie gets a VOD release in the UK mid January.
Last weeks number 1 movie falls to number 2 this week with £83,623, a 15% drop from last weekend giving the movie a total gross since release of £17 Million.
Another Christmas classic and for number 1 falls to 3 this weekend with £56,261, a 36% drop over last weekend, which gives the film a nearly £10 Million total since its 1990 release.
Second highest debut of the weekend is at 4, this Brenda Chapman directed drama about some siblings falling into a world of fantasy and imagination after a family tragedy takes £42,834 on its first weekend.
Finishing off the top 5 is the british Christmas classic from write director Richard Curtis which takes £20,430 over the weekend, 52% down from last weekend, its total is now £36.9 Million since its 2003 release.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Star Wars Land) opens at the Los Angeles based Disneyland on Friday May 31st 2019, and from early word it is nothing short of amazing.
The land which is part of the main park at Disneyland has been 3 years in the making and is one of the most anticipated projects in the Star Wars fan base since Disney bought Lucasfilms.
The land had its dedication ceremony on Wednesday 29th May in front of the Millennium Falcon replica (which is full size) hosted by Disney CEO Bob Igor and attended by Star Wars creator George Lucas, Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill, Lando Calrissian actor Billy Dee Williams and Han Solo Harrison Ford, Chewbeccca made an appearance in the cockpit of the Falcon, after he failed to start the ship Ford hit it to get it to start.
Check out the video below, and fast forward to 1 hour 15 minutes to get to the actual ceremony.
There are plenty of YouTubers putting up videos with two of our favourites FreshBaked and Tim Tracker top of the list.
Hopefully it wont be long before we get to go ourselves, but if you get a chance to emerge yourself in the best thing to happen to Star Wars since The Force Awakens then let us know.

There is a lot of excitement building for the new Star Wars: Episode VII Film, a continuation of the original Trilogy, and today Lucasfilms and Disney have posted that filming will start in May.
The filming location, like 1977s Star Wars, will be Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath near London.
Disney head Bob Igor stated in a recent earnings call that the new film would be set 30 years after Return of the Jedi, there would be 3 new leads and of course there is room for some "familiar faces" to pop up.
JJ Abrams is directing and a release date of December 18th 2015 is currently earmarked.
