Disney horror Send Help opened top of the UK-Ireland box office with £1.3m, on a flat session as cinemas awaited the rollout of Wuthering Heights next weekend.
Playing in 560 cinemas, Send Help took a £2,382 location average. The film has £1.6m including previews.
K-pop group concert film Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience took second place in the chart, with a £1.1m weekend for Universal. It played in 457 locations, taking a £2,371 average.
The film, following two concerts by K-pop stars Stray Kids in LA from summer 2025, topped the global chart this weekend.
The Housemaid posted another strong weekend for Lionsgate, falling just 34% on its seventh session. It added £927,723, and is less than £2,000 away from the £30m mark, in a stunning overall result for Lionsgate.
It is the distributor’s fourth-highest-grossing title of all time in the territory, behind only The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (£34.2m), The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 (£31.1m) and La La Land (£30.6m), and should overtake the latter two within the next fortnight.
Last weekend’s number one Hamnet added £828,633 on its fifth session – a 42% drop that brought it to £16.6m for Universal. It has overtaken the £16.2m total of fellow 2026 awards contender Sinners; as well as topping previous awards title Belfast (£15.6m), and approaching Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Favourite (£17m).
Zootropolis 2 posted a strong hold on its 11th weekend in cinemas for Disney, falling just 29%. The Oscar- and Bafta-nominated sequel added £603,667 to hit £33.2m, taking it above animated titles Sing 2 (£33m) and Shrek Forever After (£32.7m) and just behind Mufasa: The Lion King (£33.5m).
Takings for the top five dropped to the lowest level since early November, falling 13% to £4.8m. Exhibitors will be looking for a big opening from Warner Bros’ Wuthering Heights next weekend to get numbers headed in a positive direction.
Black Bear’s Shelter starring Jason Statham dropped 50% on its second weekend, with £479,000 bringing it to £1.9m total. It has already passed the totals of previous Statham films Expend4bles (£1.8m) and A Working Man (£1.9m).
