Check back on Monday to see what new movies made it onto the Weekend Box Office Chart.

Next week there are 4 new movies released

• All We Imagine As Light - Friday, 29th November
• Moana 2 - Friday, 29th November
• Conclave - Friday, 29th November
• How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies - Sunday, 1st December

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings made it 3 weeks at the top of the UK box office as the MCU's latest hero has no challange from new releases.

The highest new movie of the week is the Polish movie Small World from director Patryk Vega which made its debut at number 10 with a weekend gross of £106,493.

Sadly with a top 15 which grossed only £5.1 Million this is the lowest total gross for the UK box office in many a week, I think this is just pent up demand for the upcoming Bond movie No Time To Die which should give cinemas a massive boost and get people back in the habit of going cinemas after the pandemic closures.
