UK box office top 5 breakdown 2nd - 4th July 2021
The Justin Lin directed ninth instalment of The Fast Saga stays at the top of the Uk box office for a second weekend with £2.6 Million, a 55% drop from last week.
The movie is on its second weekend of release and has a UK gross of £10.8 Million.
Compared to the previous movie in the franchise, Fast & Furious 8, its less than half the total gross, but of course in the current box office climate it is an unfair comparison.
The runaway smash of the summer, the Peter Rabbit sequel movie remains at number 2 for the 6th weekend and this week takes £,830,560, which is basically the same as last weekend.
The movie has been a massive smash hit in the UK, no doubt fuelled by fan favourite James Cordon as the voice of Peter, and has taken £17.4 Million in the UK.
This is by far the top grossing movie of 2021 which didn't start until 7 weeks ago, it will be interesting to see if it can keep its lead with Fast & Furious 9 doing so well and the new MCU movie Black Widow out this coming week.
The Jon M. Chu directed movie is proving to be a big hit in the UK and this weekend takes £466,156, only 32% down on last weekend, giving it a total UK gross of £3.3 Million.
The Emily Blunt starring horror movie sequel takes £425,798 this weekend, 29% down, for a total gross of £10.3 Million.
Interestingly the movie is actually running parallel with its predecessor and could potentially beat its total UK gross.
This has been a surprise hit for Disney and this weekend spends a 6th weekend inside the top 5 with £410,789, a very slim 11% drop from last weekend.
The movies total Uk gros is now at £8.4 Million after its 6 weeks of release.
The long running Fast series gets to number 9 in its series of films as the stunts get more and more elaborate and cars are the stars.
The movie stars among other Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez who reprise their roles from the previous movies and are this time joined by John Cena.
The movie is once again directed by Justin Lin.

The movie was one of the first major releases to get delayed in 2020 at the start of the global pandemic, with the original delay being a whole year, then it recently got delayed another couple of months to July 9th.
The new trailer is the usual Fast and Furious fare with fast cars and Vin Diesel looking moody the whole time.
We also get to see Helen Mirren behind the wheel and she looks as cool as Diesel doing so.
The story has the Fam really coming home for Diesel who's real brother come for payback in the shape of John Cena.
Justin Lin returns as the movies director but the movie may struggle to go over the Billion dollar mark this time in the wake of the global pandemic.
And the end of the trailer does strongly suggest that the series will go into space this time as the series enters the final frontier!
The movie has a July 9th UK release and a June 25th North American release.
