Sequel movie Avatar: The Way of Water remains at the top of the UK box office for a third weekend as Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody comes in at number 2 on its debut.

UK weekend box office top 5 breakdown 30th - 1st January 2023

Spending a third week on top of the UK box office is the sequel movie to Avatar which takes £7.6 Million, a 35% increase on its Christmas weekend total.

The movie has now taken a magnificent £44.9 Million at the UK box office after 3 weeks of release.

It is £12 Million ahead of Avatar at the same point of its run and for many years that was the top grossing movie of all time in the UK.

The movie is the 3rd top grossing film of 2022, but is fast catching Top Gun: Maverick and will likely be the top grossing movie released in 2022 before the end of its run.

Highest new movie this weekend

The bio-pic of Whitney Houston starring Naomi Ackie and directed by Kasi Lemmons got released on Boxing Day this year and lands at number 2 on the UK box office.

The movie takes £3.3 Million on its debut despite getting quite a panning from critics.

The movie is looking for Oscar glory which if it achieves could boost the gross quite a but especially around the February window, and even more so if it wins!

Falling to number 2 this weekend is the musical version of the Roald Dahl story of Matilda which takes £2 Million over the New Year weekend, a 45% increase over last weekend.

The former number 1 movie has now taken £20.8 Million over its 6 weeks of release.

The sequel movie to Black Panther climbs back up the box office to number 4 this weekend with a gross of £436,156, a 54% increase over last weekend.

The movies weekend gross being so low and the movie still climbing to number 4 is a reflection of the current state of the box office and shows how much Avatar: The Way of Water is taking from the box office.

The movie has taken a total of £33.2 Million in the UK and is well below that of the first movie which had taken nearly £50 Million 8 weeks into its run.

Disney's latest animated movie, which had been considered a relative flop at the box officem, climbs to number 5 this weekend with a gross of £280,777, a 49% increase.

The movie has grossed a total of £3.1 Million at the UK box office which is about half that of Disney's previous movie Encanto.

With the Marvel sequel movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever making debut on the UK office this weekend there were no other new releases as the movie slides into the top spot with a £13 Million Uk opening.

UK weekend box office top 5 breakdown 11th - 13th November 2022

Highest new movie this weekend

As is the trend in cinemas in the modern era, with a new Marvel and Disney movie there is a new box office number 1 and it is a mjor even for the week of release.

With the release of the Black Panther sequel we get the first movie in the series since the passing of its star Chadwick Boseman which the movie deal with in the opening act of the film.

The movie makes its debut with a fantastic £13 Million debut weekend, although this is lower than the £17 Million Black Panther took on its debut in 2018.

In comparison to Black Adam which this film replaces at the top, that movie took £5.6 Million on its debut, in comparison to the last MCU movie, Thor: Love and Thunder which was also a sequel albeit the fourth in the series, that took £12.2 Million, so generally in the same ballpark.

The movie is also responsible for nearly 80% of the total of this weekends top 15 movies.

The Black Panther series, as well as Marvel in general, has a very strong fanbase who will keep this on the box office until the end of the year.

The Dwayne Johnson starring super hero movie falls to number 2 this weekend after 3 weeks at the top with a gross of £786,226, a large 61% drop over last weekend.

This gives the movie a total UK gross of £18.6 Million after 4 weeks of release.

The Children's book adaptation falls to number 3 this weekend with a gross of £647,000, a small 34% drop over last weekend.

The movie has turned into a major hit and has currently taken £11.5 Million in the UK after 5 weeks on the chart, all of them inside the top 5.

The Irish Oscar contender falls to number 4 this weekend with a gross of £560,627, a 43% drop over last weekend.

The charming and heartwarming movie starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson and directed by Martin McDonagh has taken £7.5 Million in the UK after 4 weeks of release.
