The UK proves just how much it loves a biopic about a legendary British musician as Rocketman reaches #1 while Bohemian Rhaposdy is still in the top 10. Can next years Boy George film do the same? Probably not but I reckon a George Michael biopic would have been a banker.

 

A Score To Settle (#17) is one of the 5000 films that Nicholas Cage currently makes per year. It's about a dying man who when released from prison must decide between reconnecting with his son or exacting revenge on the people who got him arrested.

 

Booksmart (#46) is a delightful film, with my favourite performace of the year so far coming from Kaitlyn Dever, which has been screwed over in the UK by it's distribyter eOne. First they stopped reporting the box office of their films which meant that it didn't register in the weekly box office charts and now they've decided to stop releasing Blu Rays for some of their films, which means that Booksmart just misses out on the top 40. I urge anyone who likes this film to import the Blu Ray from America to show eOne that there's still a market for Blu Rays for films like this. Other films impacted have been Wild Rose & A Dog's Joruney, with Late Night, Ma & Good Boys set to follow suit.

 

If in 2019, anyone is fancying a film starring Tara Reid then go and get Ouija House (#48). I think the premise of the film should be obvious from the title.

 

This weeks only TV entry is The Walking Dead (#6).

 

The main story this week is the return of the bi-annual Disney sale which leads to Mary Poppins Return(s)ing to the top 10 and a further 16 other re-entries.

 

The Shining gets a 4K release which helps in enter the top 10 for the first time. Expect it to stick around with the sequel, Doctor Sleep, coming soon.

 

The other re-entry I want to talk about is Mean Girls (#99). It was released on Blu Ray for the first time in the UK last week just in time for October 3rd. This release was called the 'Burn Book Edition' and came with the film on DVD & Blu Ray amongst many other gifts, including the script and original production notes. I bought it, it's pretty cool :D

In the battle of diminshing sequels, the Fox X-Men franchise concludes (unless New Mutants actually gets released )with a final #1. I'm still yet to see it but I've got every other X-Men film on Blu Ray so I will wait until it's cheap (probably not too long) and get it then.

 

The Secret Life Of Pets opens in second place but I imagine with the sales from the double pack (#10) it would have beat Jean Grey et al. to the top spot. It does, however, manage to top the DVD chart and was let down by only opening at #4 in the Blu Ray chart.

 

One of the first shows that brought about the current golden age of TV that were in, Deadwood, returns with a movie that didn't have the effect I imagine HBO were hoping for. It opens at #16 here.

 

The Vengeance Trilogy (#28) is a series of 3 films by director Park Chan-wook. Most famous of the 3 is Oldboy which I'm sure many people will have seen. Hopefully not the pointless Spike Lee remake with Thanos, Scarlet Witch, Nick Fury & Mantis in. The other films in this trilogy are Sympahty for Mr. Vengeance & Lady Vengeance.

 

Horror remakes are all the range this week with The Mummy Rebirth (#33), Rabid (#38) and Suspiria (#81) all entering. The Mummy Rebirth is a cheaply made 80 minute straight-to-DVD release which should say it all.

 

Rabid is a Canadian remake of the 1977 Cronenberg film about a woman who develops a taste for blood after getting experimental surgery after an accident which leaves her disfigured. The most interesting bit of trivia about this film is that it's produced by a man called Paul Lalonde who had previously only produced a load of very religious films. Interesting turn from him.

 

Suspiria is an incredibly devisive remake of the 1977 Italian horror classic by Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino. That might just be the wildest discrepancy between a directors last 2 movies of all-time. The film features witches, ballerines and lots of surreal violence.

 

Hitsville (#51) is a documentary about the origins of Motown. Having been made by Motown Records, its apparenetly very positive and chooses not to focus on any of the controversies surrounding Motown.

 

Thomas & Friends (67) is a full-length feature based on the classic British Television series and Summerslam (#80) is another one of this year's WWE events.

 

The Birdcatcher (#90) is this week's WWII entry. It's about a Norwegian girl who flees the Nazis and finds work on a farm by pretending to be a boy.

 

Skin (#100) is about a Neo-Nazi who finds love and decided to change his ways. It's based on 2012 documentary. The title refers to the racist tattoos that covered the man's face and body which requirted 25 brutal tattoo surgeries to remove.

 

This weeks TV entries include Doctor Who (#8) and Vikings (#13).

My nephew's favourite character in the world, Godzilla enters at #1. Now we'll wait to see if Godzilla vs Kong can do the same next year.

 

3 From Hell also impresively manages a top 10 debut at #9. It is the 3rd film in Rob Zombie's cult horror franchise after House of 1000 Corpses & The Devil's Rejects.

 

DC animated films always do well and Teen Titans Go vs. Teen Titans (#17) is no exception. I don't know how the events unfold in the film but it seems to me like the OG Titans would win easily, no?

 

The 'unavailable on Blu Ray' curse strikes again and meanas that Octavia Spencer horror filick Ma (#36) and Mindy Kaling/Emma Thompson talk-show comedy Late Night (#74) can only just about sneak the top 40 and 75 respectively.

 

This weeks's inevitable war film is 1862 Battle For Glory (#39). It appears to be a repackaing of a 2016 film called The War Riders which has a pretty hillarious synopsis on IMDb.

 

Jean-Claude Van Damme is one of those actors that used to be huge stars but now only has enough of a draw to get the odd straight-to-DVD film in the charts. (Also see John Travolta, Nick Cage, Bruce Willis etc). His latest is We Die Young (#46) which has a sterotypical veteran gets pulled up into the world of the mafia/cartel/gang/yakuaza/delete as approprite plot.

 

Sometimes Always Never (#79) is a family drama starring Bill Nighy that revolves around a missing son.

 

Music impacts this weeks charts with documentary about Marianne Ihlen & Leonard Cohen, Marianne & Leonard: Words Of Love (#48) and a concert double-pack from The Cure (#34) entering.

 

A collection of classic horror franchise Friday The 13th enters at 81. This spans all the way from the original to cult-favourite Jason Takes Manhattan.

 

This weeks TV entries include Titans (#37) and Peppa Pig (#89).

Not as great #1's with X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Was disappointed with them when I want to them both at the cinema.

The previous post was right as Toy Story 4 tops the charts with the 4 film collection also entering at #9, beating the underperforming Men In Black reboot/sequel 'International'.

 

The Queen's Corgi is an animated film starring Jack Whitehall about a pet of the Queen that gets lost and tries to get home. The trailer made the film look horibble and it seems the critics and auidence agreed.

 

I remember when the first trailer for Brightburn dropped with James Gunn's name predominantly featured and asked what if Superman was evil and the internet was hyped. Well the film came out and immediately lost any momentum it had with poor reviews. It does well to scrape a top 10 entry in the end.

 

Child's Play is another horror remake that sounded intriguing, Mark Hamill voicing Chucky and Aubrey Plaza playing the lead but it seems no-one else agreed as it flopped at the box office and now misses the top 10 in the home media charts.

 

DC animated films continue their hot streak with Wonder Woman: Bloodlines (#16). Athough, I have heard that this is one of the weaker ones.

 

This weeks's inevitable war film is Dauntless: The Battle Of Midway. It's a WWII flick focused on a battle between Japan & the USA.

 

This weeks TV entries include Doctor Who (#25), Elementary (#38), NCIS (#42), Criminal Minds (#54), Blue Bloods (#76) and The Haunting Of Hill House (#90).

The latest film from acclaimed horror director, Ari Aster following last year's Hereditary, Midsommar, enters the top 10 at #8. Unusually for a horror film, it is set fully in the light with many bright colours during Sweden's Midsommar festival.

 

Next up at #15 is a franchise that really should have stopped after one film. Nativity Rocks is the 4th(!) Nativity film and judging by the 2nd and 3rd entries, I'm sure is rubbish. The original, however, remains a really fun modern Christmas classic.

 

Doom: Annihilation (#20) is the 2nd attempt to make a live-action movie based on the classic video-game series and after the reception this one has got, probably the final one too. Picture the latest Hellboy reboot and then imagine it being even worse and you're probably thinking of this film.

 

Nightbreed (#23) is a cult 1990 fantasy-horror film directed by Clive Barker, based on his 1988 book Cabal. It has reached the charts for the first time after a Blu Ray re-release.

 

10 Minutes Gone (#51) is the latest straight-to-DVD film that Bruce Willis turns up in for the pay cheque. In it, a man has memory-loss after a heist gone wrong and attempts to piece together the last 10 minutes to remember who crossed him.

 

Vita & Virginia (#94) is a true story about a romance between Virginia Woolf & author Vita Sackville-West. It stars Elizabeth Debicki & Gemma Arteton.

 

This weeks's inevitable war film is Occupied. This is a film from 2016, originally titled 'I Am A Teacher'. It is about a Russian teacher who stands up for his family during the Great Patriotic War.

 

This weeks TV entries include Good Omens (#5) and Dragon Ball Super (59).

Forget Halloween it's now Christmas szn with 11 Christmas related re-entries and climbs for some that were already in the top 100.

 

However a film released this summer manages to get the #1 despite only being #2 in the DVD chart. Yesterday is of course about a world where everyone forgets that the Beatles existed and one man decides to re-record all their music. It's Danny Boyle's first film since T2 Trainspotting.

 

Disney's most succesful TV-Movie series since High School Musical, Descendants, gets it's highest peak in the UK home video charts. This follows Descendants (#18) and Descendants 2 (#7). The films are about the children of classic Disney villains and how they try to fit in among their hero-equivalent peers and stars Dove Cameron, Sofia Carson, Booboo Stewart and the late Cameron Boyce. The 3-film collection opens at #19.

 

Suitably peaking at #11 is Apollo 11. This is a documentary featuring never-before-seen footage of the Apollo 11 mission to get man on the moon and is apparently very fascinating and well worth a watch.

 

The latest in a collection of expensive flops from Luc Besson is Anna (#13). I don't think he's ever going to get back to the days of The Fifth Element & Leon. This film felt like just a knock-off of Atomic Blonde (which was already a knock-off of John Wick) so I'm surprised it's managed to do as well at a #13 debut.

 

This weeks's inevitable war film is slightly different to usual and not a WWI or WWII film. It is instead Robert The Bruce (#22). The film is about how Robert, after failure, finds refuge with a family who inspire him to fight again.

 

This weeks TV entries include DC's Legends Of Tomorrow (#25), The Expanse (#61), Batman Beyond (#71) & The Blacklist (#80).

It's another great week for Marvel as Spider-Man: Far From Home bags a #1 with the double-pack also at #18 and Phase 3, Part 2 matches the peak of Phase 3, Part 1 just over a year ago by entering at #21. They also dominate the Blu Ray top 10.

 

Diego Maradona is the 3rd in a trilogy of acclaimed documentaries from director Asif Kapadia. This follows Senna (#1) and Amy (#4). It of course, follows one of the greatest footballers of all-time and his time at Napoli. While it's the least successful of the 3, he is the first to get both forename and surname into the film's title.

 

Another football documentary, Everton, Howard's Way enters just behind at #44. This one is set at a similar time-period (mid eighties) to Maradona but instead focuses on the very successful Everton team at the time that won a league and cup double (with a record points tally).

 

Night Hunter (#48) stars Henry Cavill as a detective trying to hunt down a child murderer. Having read it's synopsis, it also features what must be the most overused plot twist of all-time:

(the surprise twin)

.

 

One Christmas themed new entry this wee: Surviving Christmas With The Relatives (#66). It's a British comedy film with a large ensemble cast but judging by the reviews Love, Actually it is not.

 

The Big Bang Theory cannot end with a big bang as the final season misses the top 10 at #23. Season 11 peaked at #12, Season 10 at #5 & 9 at #4.

 

This week's other TV entries include Peaky Blinders (#5 & #90), Mrs Brown's Boys (#19) & Wentworth Prison (#99).

Mack is indeed correct as The Lion King makes it 3/3 for Disney remakes this year. In fact, the other 2 are both still in the top 10 with Aladdin at 4 and Dumbo at 10. The double pack with the 1994 original opens at #22.

 

Annabelle comes home to the top 10, landing at #7. This is in line with the rest of the Conjuring Universe. The Conjuring (#16), The Conjuring 2 (#2), The Conjuring 1 & 2 (#87), Annabelle (#4), Annabelle: Creation (#31), The Nun (#1) & The Curse Of La Llorona (#5).

 

After 2 football documentaries opened last week, this week we get another with Busby (#24) becoming the most successful of the 3. This one focuses on Sir Matt Busby, a Manchester United legend and who the road where Old Trafford is located is named after.

 

The Dead Don't Die (#32) is a zombie film coming from director Jim Jarmusch, with a large cast including Adam Driver, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton & Selena Gomez. The film got pretty poor reviews though with the words that kept popping up most was 'weird' and 'dull'.

 

The Current War (#40) is a film with a long drawn-out history. Based on Edison & Westinghouse's battle to decide if the world was going to use AC or DC electrical currents, the film was originally pushed as a huge Oscar contender, featuring a great cast of Tom Holland. Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Shannon & Nicholas Hoult. It originally premiered to lukewarm reviews at 2017's Toronto Film Festival but it's release was delayed due to it being produced by the Weinstein Company. If finally got a release this year (with a new director's cut) but it seemed too little too late and the film didn't make much of an impact.

 

If anyone was planning on buying Adele Roberts a Christmas present this year then you're sorted as a Jane McDonald Christmas Concert performance is new at #84.

 

This week's TV entries include Star Trek: Discovery (#12), Sanditon (#41) and Billy Connolly: Made In Scotland (#72).

The only new entry in the top 10 this week is Rotten Romans (#8). A spin-off of the incredibly popular kids sketch show (and book series) Horrible Histories. The cast list is really a who's who of moderately famous British comedic actors.

 

Pavarotti (#58) is a documentary about the classical singer directed by Solo's last-minute stand-in Ron Howard.

 

We also get our fourth football documentary of the month as Make Us Dream enters at 65. This one is about the man who slipped on his f****n arse and gave it to Demba Ba, Steve Gerrard (Steve Gerrard). Steven Gerrard is now manager of Rangers but this film focuses on his playing career at Liverpool.

 

Elf Pets: A Fox Cub's Christmas Tale (#73) is the latest spin-off in the Elf On The Shelf-iverse after last year's 'Santa's St Bernard's Save Christmas' (#20). Expect this to climb in the coming weeks.

 

This week's TV entries include Catherine The Great (#24), Strictly Come Dancing (#28), Grey's Anatomy (#51), Doc Martin (#53), The Handmaid's Tale (#88), Dad's Army (#90) & Top Gear (#94).

How high will the Grinch from last year climb on the DVD chart over the coming weeks? I'm not a follower of this chart.
How high will the Grinch from last year climb on the DVD chart over the coming weeks? I'm not a follower of this chart.

 

For some reason The Grinch was originally released back in March and entered at #2 behind Bohemian Rhapsody. With it already being top 10 now I think it should climb up again to the top 5 and possibly top 3. I imagine it would have probably made #1 had they waited until this time of the year to release it.

Do they usually wait until Xmas for a DVD release of a Christmas DVD, would seem a good idea but might be like a held back single?!

Most seem to do so. For example, Nativity Rocks only released a couple of weeks ago despite being released in cinemas last year. I think it probably doesn’t make much difference anyway because the Christmas films always re-enter the charts every year just like the songs.
