Warner Bros
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part retained its lead at the top of the UK box office chart in its second weekend, dropping 39% with takings of £2.5m. That puts the film on £7.4m so far. In comparison, the original The Lego Movie added £6m in its second weekend and was on £21.9m at this point.
However, this week is UK schools’ half term holiday, which should boost mid-week takings of the LEGO sequel, meaning it could still have good legs.
The Mule added £69,000 this weekend and is up to £1.9m. Aquaman is on £22.5m, while A Star Is Born is on £30m.
Paramount
Instant Family, the Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne comedy, opened in second place in the chart with £2m from 536 sites, an average of £3,708. With previews, the film’s total UK bow is £2.5m. Wahlberg and Byrne both have had previous comedy successes in the UK: Wahlberg’s Daddy’s Home 2 grossed £14.4m after a £4.9m bow, while Byrne’s Bad Neighbours opened with £8.4m and ended on £16m.
Universal
How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is up to £11.5m in the UK after adding £1.6m in its third weekend. That leaves it still some way behind the £17.3m and £25.5m totals posted by the franchise’s previous two films.
Blumhouse-produced horror sequel Happy Death Day 2U opened with a £467,942 Fri-Sun this weekend. Including previews, the film’s total bow is £734,021. The figure is below the previous film’s £996,410 opening; it went on to reach £2.9m in the UK.

The release took £625,758 Fri-Sun, with previews taking it to £665,491. It played in 494 screens, making for a poor-looking site average of £1,274.
