The Tom Cruise sequel holds on comfortably in its sixth non-consecutive week as the UK’s Number 1 film, outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined. Its boxset of Top Gun/Top Gun Maverick lands at Number 2 for a second week running.
At Number 3, it’s sea shanty sequel Fisherman’s Friends 2: One And All, which debuts at Number 3 following its release on disc. The sequel to 2019’s Fisherman’s Friends, which chronicled the story of the sea shanty group who became an unlikely musical success after being signed by a major label, enjoys a strong Top 5 debut. The film’s soundtrack, which was released in August, reached Number 39 on the Official Albums Chart.
At Number 4, the festive season has arrived! Elf makes its return to the Official Film Chart Top 10, flying 22 places to Number 4. This is the Will Ferrell-starring film’s 31st total week in the chart. A firm favourite at this time of year, Elf spent three weeks at Number 1 in December 2020.
Roaring in at Number 5 this week is Jurassic World Dominion, closely followed by Elvis at Number 6, and animated prequel Minions: The Rise of Gru at 7.
The Batman continues his watch over the Top 10 at Number 8, while former chart-topper Bullet Train puts the brakes on, finishing two places down at Number 9. Rounding off the countdown at Number 10 is Sing 2.
