This weekend, Friday 3rd January 2025, there are 3 new films released in the UK and where available looking to hit the box office chart, but can they challenge last weekends top movie, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, for the number 1 spot?
As well as the movies released in cinemas this weekend this list also includes a number of the top movies released on streaming platforms.
Check out other new releases from around the world.
Here are this weeks new releasesCheck back on Monday to see what new movies made it onto the Weekend Box Office Chart.
As we approach the 25th anniversary of Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace it's time to remember the anniversary of the last trailer released before the movies release.
This was the last chance fans had to see any of the movie before they got to see it in full on its release, and get a flavour for the story and characters.
The trailer was first released in cinemas which was the normal way to see trailers back then, and the next day released online, and this movie is largely responsible for the internet being the way we consume trailers today, and its responsible for the uptick in home broadband!
The first trailer for the movie, shown in 1998, was placed in front of movies Meet Joe Black, The Waterboy and The Siege and perhaps turned them into bigger movies than they would normally have been.
This trailer played in front of the movie Wing Commander and is most likely responsible for much of the box office gross of that movie.
Its hard to understand unless you were there how much excitement there was before the release of this movie, it had been 16 years since the last Star Wars movie, Star Wars Return of the Jedi and expectation were high.
Arguable this gave away a little too much, and perhaps promised a bit too much, but the release date was for May (in America at least) and the hype machine was just ramping up.
Initial estimates for this weekends North American box office has The Beekeeper as the top movie in the country, but once all the figures were in Mean Girls~2024 just edge the Jason Statham movie out.
Mean Girls~2024 took $6.9 Million on its third weekend while The Beekeeper took $6.6 Million also on its third weekend.
The big new releases are really starting to dry up at the US box office, and with a some major sporting events on over the weekend in America the top new entry was the Indian movie Fighter which came in at number 16!
A second weekend as the top movie globally for Ant Man and the Wasp Quantumania while Cocaine Bear makes its debut at number 2 and Jesus Revolution is new at number 3.
A second weekend at the top of the global box office for the sequel Ant-Man movie as it adds another $78 Million to its global total for a $363 Million total.
