Yay! The hugely enjoyable Stan & Ollie has become the first non-animated film shot (in part) in Bristol to top the UK box office chart. We’re excluding The Inbetweeners 2, because that had just one poxy suspension bridge shot. And if you included animated films, you have to go all the way back to 2005 and Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit for the last one to enter at number one. Awards season favourite The Favourite increased its takings by 9% to hold on to second place, causing Mary Poppins Returns to tumble to number three. Fellow contender Colette fared less well. Indeed, more people flocked to see Bohemian Rhapsody in its 12th week on release than paid hard cash to watch the worthy Keira Knightley feminist biopic. The chief beneficiary of the awards season nominations boost, the Queen film enjoyed a 38% boost and is on the verge of breaking through the £50m barrier. The big flop was The Front Runner, which took just £88,000 nationwide. Outside the top 10, Free Solo has now taken £1.2m to become the highest grossing documentary released in the UK in 2018.
