With all that going on it was a surprise to see 22 Jump Street retain the top spot with a weekend gross of £2.2 million, this brings the films total to £9.8 million after 10 days of release.
Maleficent, X-Men Days of Future Past and Edge of Tomorrow all stayed in their respective places for another week with only Maleficent taking over a million pound from those 3.
Highest new film of the week goes to Oculus which took a less than expected with £413,000, although there were previews of How to Train Your Dragon 2 which beat it with £519,000 but this will not count on this weeks chart and go to their debut in a few weeks.
Other new films this week are - Belle at 7 - Devils Knot at 10
This time last year Man of Steel took the top spot on it's debut weekend of release knocking After Earth into the runner up spot.
