Disney
Following its £5.7m opening weekend, Aladdin impressed again this time out, dropping a slender 15% with £4.9m, a result that belied the good weather in the UK. That figure was enough to see it hold onto the number one spot for a second weekend in a row.
Aladdin is now up to £19.8m in the UK to date. It should comfortably surpass fellow Disney title Dumbo in the coming weeks, which is on £24.9m so far, and will have its sights on 2016 release The Jungle Book, which grossed £46.2m.
Avengers: Endgame added £480,000 and is up to £86.9m in the UK. Dumbo is on £24.9m after posting a further £16,000.
Universal
Family animation The Secret Life Of Pets 2 added £2.9m in it second weekend, a drop of 17.1% on its opening session. The film also benefited from the UK schools half term this week, during which it took around £4m, meaning cume to date is £11.9m including its previews prior to opening weekend.
The original film in the franchise ended on £36.6m from its UK run, meaning the sequel still has some way to go to match that total.
Opening for Universal this weekend was Tate Taylor’s horror-thriller Ma, starring Octavia Spencer as a lonely woman who befriends a group of teenagers and decides to let them party at her house, with events taking a strange turn. The film took £507,901 across Fri-Sun from 398 sites, an average of £1,276 per venue. That result looks underwhelming in comparison with the film’s US debut of $18.3m (£14.5m).
Elsewhere, The Hustle added £79,080 for £3.2m to date.
Paramount
In its second weekend, Elton John biopic Rocketman dropped a solid 37.5% with £2.5m. Including strong midweeks, the film has moved on to £12m so far. The film will need serious legs to challenge A Star Is Born, which benefited from an awards campaign on its way to £31m in the UK.
Paw Patrol Mighty Pups added £129,000 for £1.2m so far, while Wonder Park added £10,000 and is on £4.5m.
Warner Bros
Godzilla: King Of The Monsters, the latest entry in the monster movie franchise, opened with £2.3m from 530 sites, an average of £4,340 per venue. That figure means it didn’t manage to top the three key holdovers from last week, leaving it fourth on the chart. Including previews, the film is up to £3.5m so far.
That’s a step down from its predecessor, Gareth Edwards’ 2014 Godzilla, which opened with £6.4m in the UK on its way to a £17.2m run.
The film also struggled on its US debut, taking $49m (£38.8m). It’s overall global of $179m (£141.6m) was significantly boosted by its China debut of $70m (£53.4m).
