Despite the Fantastic Four reboot going straight in at number one at the box office, it isn’t all roses for the film because if you take out the amount that it took from previews then the movie would have only gone in at number three and Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation would have stayed at the top of the chart.
The only other new entry in this week’s chart went to the very tense and very well made thriller The Gift which hit the number five spot.
Upcoming – with the box office being down 52% this week on last year’s takings, all cinema chains will be hoping that this week’s batch of films could change that, so on offer is big screen reboot of The Man from U.N.C.L.E, comedy starring Simon Pegg in Absolutely Anything, vidoegame comedy adventure Pixels and comedy Trainwreck.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
