After… is closing in on the number one spot, still held by Warner Bros’ Tenet. Christopher Nolan’s temporal thriller dropped 35% on its previous weekend, bringing in £780,000 for a £13.9m cume.

The film is now the fourth-highest release of 2020 in the UK, behind Dolittle, Bad Boys For Life, Sonic The Hedgehog, and 1917, all of which were released and had most of their theatrical run prior to the coronavirus pandemic.

The New Mutants held a top five spot for Disney, dropping back 47% on its opening with £106,209 bringing it to £1.3m total. Onward added £85,033, a drop of just 13%, and has £7.1m in total.
