The Greatest Showman enjoys a fresh surge of popularity
in the UK, as it swoops back to Number 1 on the Official Film Chart –
for the first time in over two years.
Notching up the highest digital tally of the week, the record-breaking
film returns to the Official Film Chart Top spot for the first time since
January 2019. Data from the Official Charts Company recently revealed
The Greatest Showman
has sold over 3.27 million copies across disc and digital, and lays claim
to the most weeks on the Top 40 in Film Chart history with 109
non-consecutive weeks, 32 of which have been spent in the Top 10.
Meanwhile at Number 2 is this week’s highest new entry
Saint Maud. This unnerving Horror stars Morfydd Clark as the eponymous nurse
Maud, who makes it her purpose to save her terminally ill patient’s soul
from eternal damnation. Flying back up the chart and landing at Number 3
is 1997 sci-fi classic The Fifth Element, while
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
(4) continues to enjoy a stint in the Top 5 ahead of the release of
Godzilla vs. Kong next month.
Further down,
Black Panther
zooms 24 places this week to Number 6 following the release of a new 4K
SteelBook edition of the film. It lands just ahead of last week’s Number
1, Bill & Ted Face The Music at 7. Finally,
Trolls World Tour rebounds into the Top 10 at Number 10, its
highest chart placing since early December.
This week’s Official Film Chart online show features a preview of
Alec Baldwin in Irish Comedy-Drama Pixie, available to download and keep from February 15th.
