It was a very slow weekend with no major new releases at the UK box office, and for the first time since the end of 2020 as cinemas started to close due to the COVID pandemic where no film in over the weekend took over a Million pound.
The top movie of the weekend, and the highest debut, is the event cinema Andre Rieues 2022 Maastricht Concert: Happy Days Are Here Again from the famous violinist which easily beast the new Idris Elba movie Beast~20221 which makes its debut at 2.
Further down the box office there is a new entry for The Invitation which has been on limited release and makes its debut at 12 with £261,791 and Official Competition which also on limited release is new at 15 with £101,916.
Highest new movie of the weekend
Violinist Andre Rieu brings his summer concert from Maastricht to cinemas once again which gives the popular musician the highest debut and number one movie of the weekend.
In what is a very quiet period for cinemas and new releases the event cinema concert takes £798,706 on its debut.
This is of course not the first time Rieu has hit the box office but it is the first time one of his cinema events has hit the top of the box office.
The last time a concert hit the top was during the pandemic in the shape of Michael Ball & Alfie Boe: Back Together which took £175,778 in October 2020.
This has done better that last years summer concert which took, Andre Rieus 2021 Summer Concert: Together Again, which took £420,056 exactly a year ago.
The new movie starring Idris Elba makes its debut at number 2 this weekend with a debut gross of £600,259.
This is perhaps a little on the disappointing side for a film starring such a big name, the last film Elba was in was Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and he has a cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness both of which are among the biggest movies of the year.
Elba stars in another movie released this weekend, Three Thousand Years of Longing, which has not gone down that well in the US so it will be interesting to see next week how well it does in the UK.
The animated feature from the DC Universe of movies stays at number 3 this weekend with a gross of £598,985, a 26% drop.
The movie has now taken £12.2 Million in the UK after 5 weekends of release.
The Brad Pitt starring movie falls to number 4 this weekend with £593,044, a 29% drop which gives the movie a total gros sof £8.1 Million after 4 weeks of release.
Falling from the top to this weeks number 5 the Jordan Peele horror movie takes £576,643, a 50% over its gross last weekend.
The movie has now taken £5.9 Million in the UK after 3 weeks of release.
You may have missed this but yesterday, June 8th, is considered by fans of the series as Ghostbusters day, marked on that day as the original movie was released on this day in North America.
Jason Reitman, director of Ghostbusters: Afterlife and son of the original director Ivan Reitman, during a celebration marking the event, announced officially that a fourth (or fifth depending how you count!) is in the works.
The movie will be code named Firehouse, and who knows this could be the title eventually, after in infamous HQ of the Ghostbusters in the original movie, which can be seen being bought by Ernie Hudsons character Winston Zeddemore in Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
“The last time we saw Ecto-1, it was driving back into Manhattan: the home of Ghostbusters. That’s where our story begins. The code name is FIREHOUSE.” -@JasonReitman, @GilKenan #GhostbustersDay pic.twitter.com/P3QRild2Vs

At an event on Wednesday Reitman said he has just started working on a script with Gil Kenan, his co-writer on Afterlife.
Here are the highlights of the announcement
No word yet on any other returning characters but Dan Aykroyd praised Afterlife a lot so an appearance from him is likely and Bill Murray seems to have buried him Ghostbusters demons so thats also likely.
Sigourney Weaver appeared in a weird cameo in Afterlife so its likely she may return, and Annie Potts could do with wrapping her story up, and even a cameo from Rick Moranis would be a treat.
No word on release or production dates but no doubt were looking at something like June 2024 which would nicely tie in with the 40th anniversary of the original Ghostbusters.
Now where is that sequel to the 2016 Ghostbusters~2016 movie we are all waiting for!
The next James Bond 007 movie, No Time To Die, gets a 12 A certificate from the BBFC for moderate violence, infrequent strong language.
