The film was originally released in 2016 with an all-star voice cast
including
Matthew McConaghey, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Saunders, John C.
Reilly
and many more, and has never reached the Official Film Chart Top 10 until
this week. The most downloaded movie of the week, it finishes just a few
hundred sales ahead of its closest competition, Roald Dahl’s
The Witches at Number 2.
Last week’s Number 1
The Greatest Showman
drops to Number 3, while
Spider-Man: Far From Home
climbs four places to Number 4 amid growing anticipation about its
as-yet-untitled sequel.
The Minions packed, Despicable Me 3 leaps six places into
the Top 10 at Number 5 and
Tenet
rises three to Number 6, while
Jumanji: The Next Level
(7), Trolls World Tour (8) and
Le Mans ’66
(9) also make big gains on this week’s chart.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
rounds off the countdown at Number 10.
Notable brand new entries further down the Top 20 come from psychological
horror
Possessor
at Number 11, and animal caper
Cats & Dogs: Paws Unite at 16.
This week’s Official Film Chart online show features a sneak peek at
British horror The Owners. Starring Maisie Williams, the film is available to download and
keep from February 22nd.
