Wreck-It Ralph could only hold on to the top spot for one week as the chart was flooded with new entries and it was inevitable that it couldn’t hold its weight against the flood of new films.
Five new films graced this week’s chart and one film found its way back into the top ten despite it now being available on DVD. First up, the new entries and going in at number ten was Park Chan Wook’s strange film Stoker, one place above that was thriller Arbitrage, hitting the number seven spot was drama thriller Broken City. Into the top five now and at number five was was romantic drama Safe Haven and this week’s new number one went to Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters.
One quick thing to mention is that the film that has found its way back into the top ten thanks to the Oscars was the brilliant Argo.
