Taylor Swift dominated the UK box office this weekend with the cinematic version of her The Eras Tour, and broke the event cinema record in the process.

The movie took an incredible £5.7 Million which smashes the £5.5 Million total by Prima Facie: NT Live 2022 from last year which starred Jodie Comer.

It was never going to challenge the superstar Taylor Swift for the top spot but hats off to PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie for daring to release the same weekend, the movie comes in at number 2 this weekend.

Last weeks top movie, The Exorcist: Believer, stood no chance of holding the top spot and this weekend falls to number 3 after a single week at the top.
