Also new this weekend is The Legend of Maula Jatt at number 9 with £315,219 and Emily at number 10 with £276,322.
Highest New Movie This Weekend
Directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck the movie based on the children's book of the same name lands on the UK box office at the top this weekend.
With the release of Halloween Ends this weekend it was presumed that would get to the top but the crocodile movie takes the top spot with its advance screenings, without them the movie does land at number 2.
The movie takes £2.7 Million over the weekend and £1.7 Million without previews.
The last in the (current) Halloween trilogy lands on the box office at number 2 this weekend, ot if we take out the advance screenings of Lyle Lyle Crocodile it actually lands at the top.
The movie makes a debut gross of £2.1 Million which is well above the previous David Gordon Green directed Halloween movie, Haloween Kills which landed at number 3 with £1.6 Million, but that movie was delayed a year and released during the pandemic.
The horror movie of the moment falls to number 2 this weekend after a 2 week stint at the top of the UK box office.
On its 3rd weekend the movie takes £1.4 Million, a 17% drop over last weekend which gives the movie a total UK gross of £7.2 Million.
The George Clooney and Julia Roberts starring romantic comedy remains at number 4 this weekend on its 4th weekend of release.
Taking £617,041, a small 28% drop over last week, now on its 4th weekend the movie has taken a very reasonable £7.7 Million.
Despite the controversy surrounding this movie, and that it was a relative flop in the US the movie has done reasonably well in the UK, I guess the British love Florence Pugh and Harry Styles!
The movie takes £610,841 on its 4th weekend of release as it falls to number 5, this is a 40% drop over last weekend and gives the movie a total UK gross of £9.3 Million, the £10 Million milestone is just around the corner.
