Bond returned from the dead to retake the top spot at the weekend. It was a close-run thing, but No Time To Die continued to defy predictions as it forced Dune into second place. It’s now overtaken Avatar to become the sixth highest-grossing film of all time in the UK. Don’t bet against it eventually reaching Skyfall‘s £103m. Indeed, the UK box office remains in a pretty healthy state. Bond drew audiences back to cinemas, but the more even distribution of takings in the top ten suggests punters are now returning to see other films. Sequels Venom: Let There Be Carnage and The Addams Family 2 are both now on course to match or beat the pre-pandemic originals. What’s more, the ‘cancellation’ of J.K. Rowling appears to have had no impact upon Harry Potter’s box office appeal, with the 20th anniversary reissue of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone taking nearly a million quid. That made it the highest new entry, way ahead of Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho – though to be fair the latter is an 18-rated film with a rather more limited release and audience.
