Universal

UK period drama Downton Abbey opened with £5.1m for a strong start at top spot. The film played in 730 locations, averaging £7,087 – comfortably the highest of the weekend.

It is writer Julian Fellowes’ biggest UK opening by some distance, and should soon catch his highest total gross of £12.3m for 2002’s Gosford Park.

Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw has passed the £20m mark, adding £191,884 at the weekend for £20.1m after seven weekends.

Warner Bros

It: Chapter Two dropped a substantial 54% on its second weekend, taking £3.2m for second place. It has £13.6m to date.

This is down in all regards on 2017’s It, which took £6.1m (a 39% drop) on its second weekend for £21.2m.

Sony

Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood added £547,000 on its fifth weekend, a 50% fall, for £19.8m total. It is now the seventh highest-grossing 18-rated film of all time in the UK, with the chance of hitting as high as second (2017’s Fifty Shades Darker with £22.7m) depending on the length of its tail.

The Angry Birds Movie 2 added £100,000 for £5m to date and will finish short of the 2016 first film’s £10.7m.

Spider-Man: Far From Home put on £69,000 for £37.1m, and is now the UK’s sixth highest-grossing title of 2019, just behind Aladdin.
