Talk about there being only one game in town. Crappy weather plus the much-hyped arrival of a blockbuster juggernaut saw Avengers: Endgame smash the record previously set by Spectre. Its result is even more impressive when you consider that the Bond flick’s £41.3m opening ‘weekend’ actually lasted seven days back in 2015. By contrast, the superheroes hauled in £43.4m in just four days. With Avengers: Endgame accounting for around 93% of all cinema tickets sold over the weekend, everything else wilted. Rival superhero flicks Captain America and Shazam! fared particularly poorly. But the necessity to keep rug rats entertained meant that family films held up, with Dumbo being the only film other than Avengers: Endgame to take more than £1m. Further down the chart, Wonder Park jumped from seventh to third place and Missing Link reappeared at number eight. The vanishingly small minority of grown-ups going to the cinema opted for Red Joan, Wild Rose, Greta and the only other new release to make the chart: Eighth Grade.
