UK Box Office Weekend Report 15th - 17th November 2024:  Sequel movie Gladiator II directed by Ridley Scott tops the box office on its debut weekend
Gladiator II
Coming 24 years after the original Gladiator the sequel lands at the top of the UK box office this weekend with a debut gross of £9 Million.

Compared to the original movie this is nearly £3 Million higher as that movie took £6.3 Million (adjusted for inflation) £3.5 Million actual.

Last weekend Paddington In Peru was the top new movie at number 1 and after a week the movie falls to number 2 with a total gross of £18 Million.

This is most likely not the last we hear from the Paddington movie and a move back to the top would not be a surprise, although with Wicked out this weekend who knows!
