They’ve allowed him to suspend the other two games for a year (when he’ll probably have retired from international football) which is stupid.

It’s been confirmed that play-off winners will be in Pot 4. Although they’ve announced that Spain/ Argentina and France/England will be separated in the draw so that (if they win their groups) they can’t meet until the final.

(10) Bugonia - £94,951 (-63%) Weeks: 4 (£2,892,081) Falling out: Regretting You (4 weeks) There’s only one new entry to discuss this week but it’s certainly a big one: ‘Wicked: For Good’ has the best opening weekend of the year (with or without previews) as it tops the chart with a huge £18,858,826 (£17.8 million without previews). There’s about a hundred records it has broken that we could talk about so strap in while I share the most pertinent. Let’s start off by comparing it to last year’s ‘Wicked’ (£13,696,057, #1). A £5 million rise is impressive, especially when you consider that ‘Wicked’ ended up becoming the top film of 2024 with the biggest 3-day opening of the year. This is now the second-biggest opening for a musical of all-time behind ‘Beauty And The Beast’ (£19,700,000, #1, 2017) but has broken its own record as being the biggest stage-show adaptation. This also makes it the second-biggest ‘PG’ opening of all-time, again behind ‘Beauty And The Beast’ but beating ‘The Lion King' (£16,671,764, #1, 2019). It also ranks second for Universal in 3-day openings, behind ‘No Time To Die’ (£25,916,476 with previews, #1 2021) but also trails ‘Jurassic World (£19,350,727, #1, 2015) if you include previews. One record it does have for itself is the best ever November 3-day opening. I’m not 100% sure but I think this was previously ‘Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets’ (£18,871,829, #1, 2002). In recent context, this is the biggest 3-day opening since ‘Barbie’ (£18,509,235, #1) from July 2023 and the biggest overall opening since ‘Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness’ (£19,765,718, #1) from May 2022. Seeming that we’re talking about the MCU, for context on how great this opening is, ‘Wicked: For Good’ has already outgrossed the closing figures for 2/3 of the MCU films this year (‘Captain America: Brave New World’ and ‘Thunderbolts*’). It feels like the only film that can stop ‘Wicked’ from doing a two-peat at the yearly UK box office will be ‘Avatar: Fire And Ash’. This has opened at #10 in the YTD chart. Nothing much else of note to comment on this weekend, but the other film that deserves some praise is ‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ which drops 53% in weekend two. This is not a bad result as it allows the film to pass £1 million for the weekend which wasn’t a given with the Wicked takeover. Although it’s tracking behind ‘Now You See Me 2’ at the same stage (£4,843,905), it is already doing more business day-to-day so I think it will end up passing that films final gross of £6.3 million. Not so lucky is ‘The Running Man’ that has a large 73% drop (61% without previews) that puts it at £3.8 million. More than ‘Last Night In Soho’ (£2.4 million total) but far off Edgar Wright’s beloved classics. But that drop is nothing compared to the massive 85% fall saw by anime-release ‘Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution’. This is more in line with what we expect from anime releases after a couple of films have really bucked the trend of late. But it has passed £1 million, becoming the 103rd 2025 release to reach this milestone. Particularly impressive when we only had 89 films do this last year. Although year-to-year, we’re now only tracking at 4% ahead when we were miles ahead in the summer. A more impressive hold from last week’s new entries is from ‘Nuremburg’ that holds at #4 with a 45% drop. It’s solid counter-programming to ‘Wicked’ and has already made more than £2 million overall. Targeting a similar audience is ‘The Choral’ which drops 65% in weekend three. It’s now at £3.3 million and is edging closer to the being one of the top 5 British releases of the year. ‘Predator: Badlands’ hasn’t been able to recover from the larger-than-expected drop last weekend as it sheds another 59% and falls to #5. But it has made £5 million now and is less than a million off becoming the biggest hit of the franchise. ‘Bugonia’ drops 63% but gains a surprise extra week in the top 10 with a sub-£100k gross. There are four further new-entries in the #11-15 section, ‘Laalo: Krishna Sada Sahaayate‘ (#11), ‘Sisu: Road To Revenge (#13), ‘CBeebies Panto 2025: Cinderella’ (#14) and ‘Arabella: Met Opera 2025’’ (#15). Next week sees the openings of ‘Zootropolis 2’, ‘Christy’, ‘Pillion’, ‘Blue Moon’, ‘Primitive War’ ‘Desperate Journey’, ‘Tere Ishk Mein’ and ‘Still Pushing Pineapples’. Can any of them top the charts? ~ Jon M. Chu’s Openings: Step Up 2: The Streets (£2,358,003, #3, 2008) Step Up 3D (£2,015,403, #4, 2010) Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (£820,592, #9, 2011) G.I.

I'm just going to pretend I haven't seen this. BBC NewsAriana Grande: 2026 tour will be the 'last for a long time'The US pop star insisted she has not ruled out getting back on the road in the future

The rumours suggest that FIFA are set to announce that play-offs teams are actually going to be ranked based on the highest-ranked team which would mean the pots actually look more like: Pot 1 Mexico (H15) Canada (H27) USA (H14) Spain (1) Argentina (2) France (3) England (4) Brazil (5) Portugal (6) Netherlands (7) Belgium (8) Germany (9) Pot 2 Croatia (10) Morocco (11) Italy Play Off (12) Colombia (13) Uruguay (16) Switzerland (17) Japan (18) Senegal (19) Iran (20) Denmark Play-Off (21) South Korea (22) Ecuador (23) Pot 3 Austria (24) Turkey Play-Off (25) Australia (26) Ukraine Play-Off (28) Norway (29) Panama (30) Egypt (34) Algeria (35) Scotland (36) Paraguay (39) Tunisia (40) Ivory Coast (42) Pot 4 Uzbekistan (50) Qatar (51) DR Congo Play-Off (56) Iraq Play-Off (58) Saudi Arabia (60) South Africa (61) Jordan (66) Cape Verde (68) Ghana (72) Curaçao (82) Haiti (84) New Zealand (86) We'll see if it does happen soon I guess 🤣

Africa: DR Congo (56) Asia: Iraq (58) North America: Jamaica (70) Suriname (123) Oceania: New Caledonia (149) South America: Bolivia (76) There will be an updated World Rankings later today but I don’t foresee any big changes so the pot 1 teams will be Iraq and DR Congo who are one game away from the World Cup. Edit: I have just edited in the newly updated World Ranking positions

There was 10 added on and the handball happened in the 10th minute and then with the VAR check and it kicking off a bit after it was awarded meant it dragged on for 7 mins before they took the pen.

Italy could face either Sweden or North Macedonia. The two teams that knocked them out of the last two World Cup play-offs. 👀

Play-Offs: There will be a new World Rankings announced tomorrow to confirm the pots but based on today's rankings the pots would look something like: Pot 1: Italy (9) Denmark (20) Turkey (26) Ukraine (27) Pot 2: Poland (33) Wales (34) Czech Republic (44) Slovakia (46) Pot 3: Albania (61) Republic of Ireland (62) Bosnia & Herzegovina (75) Kosovo (84) Pot 4: Nations League Qualifiers Sweden (40) Romania (47) North Macedonia (65) Northern Ireland (69)

(04) Bugonia - £257,907 (-53%) Weeks: 3 (£2,650,482) Falling out: Die My Love (1 week) Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere (3 weeks) Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie (4 weeks) I Swear (5 weeks) Chainsaw Man: The Movie: Reze Arc (3 weeks) I promised you a close battle and here we have £750 separating the top 2 as ‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ (£2,384,018) eventually ends up claiming top spot from ‘The Running Man’ (£2,383,269). In fact, this weekend was so tight, that the original reporting I saw suggested that ‘The Running Man’ was going to win out thanks to previews before the final figures came in. But as Tafty hinted at, the battle wasn’t so close if you take out previews completely with ‘NYSM:NYD’ making £2 million over the 3-day weekend while ‘The Running Man’ could only gross £1.7 million. This is the first film in the ‘Now You See Me’ franchise to top the UK charts after the original hit #2 (£2,898,997) and the second film opened at #3 (£2,964,641). As you can see from those figures, this is officially the lowest opening of the three. However, again when you take out previews, it actually becomes the biggest opening of the three with the others only making £1.8 million and £1.6 million when you strip them out. The first film ended up reaching £11 million while the second closed at £6.3 million so Paramount will be looking for this to hit double-figures after a decent start. This is the third-best opening for director Ruben Fleischer. See below for a full list. #2 seems to be Edgar Wright’s favourite position to land with ‘The Running Man’ being his fourth (out of seven feature releases) to land in second spot. This is a big increase on his most recent film ‘Last Night In Soho’ (£731,950, #8, 2021) and is more in line with the opening of Cornetto-trilogy closer ‘The World’s End’ (£2,123,576, #2, 2013). ‘Baby Driver’ (£3,605,705, #2, 2017) was his last attempt to go full-Hollywood and ended up with £13.2 million. The reviews haven’t been as strong with this one and with ‘Wicked: For Good’ looking to demolish all competition next week, I’m not sure if this can even make half of that. The £5 million of ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. The World’ feels like a fairer battle. The £4.6 million of ‘The Long Walk’ is the total it needs to beat for the 2025 Stephen King adaptation crown. Opening at #4 is ‘Nuremburg’ (£898,314). This is the latest Sky Cinema release and is a drama about the true-life Nuremburg Trials where key-leaders of the Nazi party where tried for their atrocities. Russell Crowe stars as Göring while Rami Malek plays Douglas Kelly, the psychiatrist who was assigned to ensure he was mentally-fit for trial. This is written and directed by James Vanderblit who has previously scribed hits such as ‘Zodiac’, ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ and the two latest ‘Scream’ films. This feels like a decent opening for a film that is likely to play well during the week. Rounding out the top #5 is ‘Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution’ (£837,563). It feels like we’re in a bit of a golden age for anime at the UK Box Office with this opening strongly within weeks of ‘Demon Slayer’ and ‘Chainsaw Man’. This is pretty much level with the £825,529 that 2021’s ‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0’ opened with in 2022 and that film closed to £1.4 million. A third £1 million+ anime grosser of the year is looking certain’. The final new entry this week is ‘Christmas Karma’ (£487,528, #7). This is a Bollywood-inspired British-musical retelling of ‘A Christmas Carol’ from Gurinder Chadha where Scrooge is played by The Big Bang Theory’s Kunal Nayyar. Everything about this movie feels like it’s been picked out of a hat with a smorgasbord of supporting actors including Eva Longoria, Hugh Bonneville, Boy George, Billy Porter, Danny Dyer and Pixie Lott and original music from Gary Barlow and Shaznay Lewis. It’s the second release from new distributors True Brit Entertainment after their other Danny Dyer film, ‘Marching Powder' (£1,079,492, #3) from earlier in the year. This would need to reach £3.1 million to outgross that. Christmas films usually have good legs so maybe it can. In such a busy week, ‘Predator: Badlands’ wasn’t able to find much footing with a 61% drop that sees it land at #3. However, it is still already at £4.3 million and should have no trouble passing ‘Predators’ to become the biggest film in the franchise. ‘The Choral’ drops from #2-#6 but with a much more respectable -34%. It’s at £2.6 million and is within the top 10 British films of the year. And it’s actually a case where the lower you go, the holds get better for last week’s new entries as ‘A Paw Patrol Christmas’ actually increases 3% in week two as it holds at #9. It’s already passed £500k in total. There are only two films in the top 10 that are older than two weeks: ‘Regretting You’ and ‘Bugonia’. ‘Regretting You’ has it’s first big drop (-51%) while ‘Bugonia’ (-53%) is nearing the end of it’s top 10 run and is at £2.7 million. There are two further new-entry in the #11-15 section, ‘Keeper’ (#11) and ‘De De Pyaar De 2’ (#14). Next week sees the openings of ‘Wicked: For Good’, ‘Sisu: Road To Revenge’, ‘The Thing With Feathers’, ‘The Carpenter’s Son’, ‘CBeebies Panto 2025: Cinderella’, ‘The Ice Tower’ and ‘Arabella: Met Opera 2025’ and ‘Paddington: Winter Warmers’. Can any of them top the charts? ~ Ruben Fleischer’ Openings: Zombieland (£1,240,984, #2, 2009) 30 Minutes Or Less (£260,337, #10, 2011) Gangster Squad (£2,090,614, #3, 2013) Venom (£8,031,342, #1, 2018) Zombieland: Double Tap (£1,242,352, #4, 2019) Uncharted (£4,705,948, #1, 2022) Now You See Me: Now You Don’t (£2,384,018, #1, 2025) ~ Edgar Wright’s Openings: Shaun Of The Dead (£1,603,410, #3, 2004) Hot Fuzz (£5,918,149, #1, 2007) The World’s End (£2,123,576, #2, 2013) Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (£1,604,545, #2, 2010) Baby Driver (£3,605,705, #2, 2017) The Sparks Brothers (£123,005, #11, 2021) Last Night In Soho (£731,950, #8, 2021) The Running Man (£2,383,26, #2, 2025)
