Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi blockbuster Tenet topped the UK and Ireland box office for a second consecutive weekend, grossing £2.1m.

The film has now grossed £10m, making it the seventh highest-grossing film of the year so far in what is a unique time for film releases. It fell back 35% on its opening weekend total and brought in just short of a 70% share of the total market.

The New Mutants, Disney’s first major release since cinemas reopened, took £359,562 on its opening Friday-Sunday, playing in 540 locations for a £668 average.

The film started previews the week before and has grossed £686,360 in total.

After We Collided, the latest in the After series adapted from Anna Todd’s novels, opened to an outstanding £174,645 from just 40 locations, for a £4,366 location average - the second-highest since cinemas reopened, behind only Tenet. Including previews, the film has £254,771 at an average of £6,369. The film is expanding to over 100 locations for next weekend. Voltage/Shear Entertainment are distributing.

Disney’s Onward added £134,841 on its 13th weekend – a 27% drop – and has £6.9m in total.

The company’s strongest catalogue performers were Black Panther with £48,334, and Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back with £9,884.

Former number one title Unhinged continued to perform well for Altitude, taking £97,221 – a 14% drop - for a £1.4m cume.

The distributor also opened Ladj Ly’s Oscar-nominated Les Misérables to £41,480 from 128 locations for a £319 average. It has £48,090 including previews.

Vertigo Releasing’s Australian family animation 100% Wolf continues to perform well under the circumstances, grossing £96,820 to take it past the £1m mark after six weekends.

The film took £33,130 on its opening weekend; its 192% weekend-on-weekend increase to now suggests that there is an audience ready for new titles where cinemas are open.

Matteo Garrone’s Pinocchio added £56,524 to reach £684,928, also for Vertigo.

Universal’s highest-grossing title was Trolls World Tour which added £49,533 for £762,929 total.
