UK top ten box office countdown (WE 29th June 2015)

Jurassic World’s reign at the top of the chart had to come to a end sometime and it was up to those yellow adorable creatures known as the Minions to topple it and that they did.

Going straight in at number one, The Minions Movie took an impressive £11.5 million in its opening weekend, making it the highest grossing animated film in its debut weekend, just ahead of Toy Story 3.

With the Minions hitting the number one spot you would think that no other new film would want to be released in the same week as they wouldn’t have a chance to crack the top ten, however this is not true; in fact there were two other new films in this week’s chart in the form of indie western Slow West going in at number ten and dark thriller Knock Knock hitting the number seven spot.

Upcoming – Two big films this week will fighting to make some kind of impact on next weeks chart, those films in question are Terminator Genisys and Magic Mike XXL.
