Coming from veteran horror director Sam Raimi this weeks new number 1 movie is Send help which tops the United Kingdom box office with a little over £1.5 Million.

Cinema is going through a period where there is no major blockbuster released at getting into released so when a movie likes this which got very little hype makes it to the top of the box office its worth celebrating.

Sam Raimi of course is no stranger to big buget blockbusters having direct the Toby Maguire Spider-Man trilogy and the MCU movie Doctor Strage and the Multiverse of Madness.

Falling from the top this weekend is Hamnet which has been on the box office for 5 weeks and has taken over £16.5 Million to date.
