Spider-Man: Brand New Day added £12m on its second weekend, which is down 49% from its huge opening weekend. That takes its total after just 12 days in cinemas to a ridiculous £65.1m with a potential £100m total on the cards, a number only two films have reached in the past (Skyfall and Star Wars: The Force Awakens). It’s also already the biggest film of 2026 to date, just ahead of…
The Odyssey delivered a sensational fourth weekend, adding £5.3m, which is down just 23% from last weekend. That takes its total after 24 days in cinemas to a HUGE £61.5m and makes it the second biggest film of 2026 to date as Christopher Nolan’s biggest ever film in the UK & Ireland, having just overtaken Oppenheimer. A total in the region of £80m looks on.
Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie opened in third with £1.7m, which includes £567k from previews. The previous Paw Patrol movie, Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, had a Friday to Sunday opening of £1.3m, so just ahead of The Dino Movie. That film finished on £8.2m, which is the target for this new film.
Toy Story 5 came in fourth on its eighth weekend, adding £729k which is down 31% from last weekend. That takes its total to £53.9m and it’s now only the third biggest film of 2026 to date, having just been overtaken by Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey. Toy Story 4 finished its run with £66.2m, which looks just out of reach for this fifth film.
Minions & Monsters added £539k on its sixth weekend, which is down 31% from last weekend. That takes its total to £16.1m. The lowest performing Despicable Me film to date is the very first one, which finished on £20.2m and Minions & Monsters still has a small chance of getting to that.
Outside of the top five, Andre Rieu’s 2026 Summer Concert opened in sixth with £500k. Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man opened in eight with £308k, which includes £67k from previews.

The Buzz
Violent Night 2 sees David Harbour return as Santa Claus. Stranded in a crumbling New Jersey mall and cut off from the North Pole, Santa is trapped dishing out violent justice to a ruthless Crime Lord and his henchmen overrunning the town's mall. The first Violent Night was a pleasant surprise and performed particularly strongly with a 16-34 audience (almost 60% of its audience was 16-34). This sequel looks like it will please fans of the first film when it hits cinemas on 4 December. Here’s the first trailer.
