In a pretty quiet week at the box office with no major new releases, Malcolm D. Lee defied the critics to snaffle top place by a whisker with Night School, his follow-up to Girls Trip. The only other new entry was Glenn Close’s Oscar pitch The Wife, which was the clear winner of the battle for the artohouse pound with the second highest screen average of any film on release. Skate Kitchen, by contrast, performed rather unimpressively despite good reviews, bagging just £19,000 nationwide. Meanwhile, the films with the longest legs are Disney’s Christopher Robin, which is up to £14m after seven weeks on release and that Conjuring spin-off The Nun, which has spent four weeks in the top five and is up to £10m. Given the 20 year gap in the series chronology between The Nun and The Conjuring, it seems very likely that we’ll be seeing a lot more bad habits in the multiplexes.
