Keanu Reeves whups Pokémon’s bottom. But on closer inspection, it was a narrow victory on points rather than a knockout blow. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum‘s £3.5m haul includes two days of previews. Without them, the threequel would have landed in second place behind Detective Pikachu. That said, it’s still the biggest opener in the John Wick franchise, which presumably means we’ll be getting John Wick 4 before long. Lucky us. Avengers: Endgame continued to tumble rapidly, dropping by 50% on its third weekend. But these things are relative. The film’s £83.9m cumulative total means it has now barged into the UK all-time top five. It stands little chance of going any higher, mind, as Avatar sits in fourth place on £94m. Recording the lowest drop of any film in the top ten was the Aretha Franklin concert film Amazing Grace, which proved much more attractive to paying punters in its second week on release than Scottish rave drama Beats did during its opening weekend on roughly the same number of screens.
