Well, Everest and Legend couldn’t be moved from the top two spots in this week’s chart

The reason the top of the chart remains the same is down to the lackluster week for new releases, with comedy drama Miss You Already being the highest taking one out of the bunch, however it even failed to reach the heights of the £500,000 mark.

The only other new entry in this week’s top ten went to silly thriller Solace which hit the number six spot.

Upcoming – hopefully The Martian from Ridley Scott can give the box office a bit of life as takings were down 22% on last week’s. Other new films of note out this week include comedy The Intern and dark retelling of Macbeth.

10. Bill, £159,734 from 298 sites. Total: £446,821
9. Pixels, £163,732 from 319 sites. Total: £8,334,036
8. Secret Cinema: The Empire Strikes Back, £294,775 from one site. Total: £6,316,360
7. The Visit, £310,988 from 356 sites. Total: £2,568,239
6. Solace, £340,537 from 332 sites (new)
