Box Office Round-up
Avatar: Fire And Ash topped the UK box office for the third successive weekend, adding £4.4m, which is down 27% from last weekend. That takes its total to £31.6m and its now the sixth highest grossing film released in 2025. The previous film, Avatar: The Way Of Water, finished its run with £77.4m so this sequel still has a long way to go to match that.
The Housemaid is in the middle of a terrific box office run, and it added £3.9m this weekend, which is a hefty INCREASE of 26% from last weekend. That takes its total to £12.4m with the promise of plenty more to come. Colleen Hoover’s It Ends With Us finished its run with £21.9m in 2024, which may be out of reach for The Housemaid, but even getting close would be a great result.
Marty Supreme is also having a great time, adding £2.8m, which is an increase of 98% from last weekend. That increase is down to the film expanding to approximately 500 more screens and takes its total to £6m. After Wonka, Dune, and A Complete Unknown, Timothée Chalamet is a bona fide movie star and Marty Supreme might be his most impressive achievement yet with £10m+ on.
Zootropolis 2 is still performing strongly, increasing on last weekend by 34% to £2.1m. That takes its total to a punchy £27.5m and it is the eighth biggest film of 2025 and the biggest animated film of 2025. It has also sailed past the final total of the first Zootropolis (£24.1m).
The Spongebob Movie: Search For Squarepants rounded out the top five, adding £1.2m for a new total of £6m. The previous Spongebob movie, Sponge Out Of Water, finished its run with £8.6m and this sequel looks set for a similar total.
Outside of the top five, the star power of Kate Hudson, Hugh Jackman, and Neil Diamond couldn’t inspire Song Sung Blue to more than £936k, which includes £228k from previews. Sadly this isn’t another The Greatest Showman for Hugh. Hong Kong sci-fi Back To The Past opened in 9th with £252k, which inlcudes £86k from previews.

The Buzz
Digger is the previously untitled collaboration between Tom Cruise and Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu (The Revenant, Birdman, Amores Perros). Cruise is stepping away from his well-known franchises for the first time since American Made in 2017, to star in a comedy-drama about the most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity's saviour before the disaster he's unleashed destroys everything. The excellent supporting cast includes Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, and John Goodman, and the film is shot by Emanuel Lubezki who won three consecutive Oscars between 2014 and 2016 for shooting Gravity, Birdman and The Revenant. It’s one of the most exciting films of 2026 and it hits cinemas on 2 October.
