The winner: Bohemian Rhapsody
Dropping just 11% from its opening session, Bohemian Rhapsody delivered chart-topping, second-weekend earnings of £5.75m, taking its total after 12 days to a stunning £20.4m. Cinema operators who had bullishly projected £30m for the Freddie Mercury biopic prior to release are now looking as if they were being cautious.
Only five other films this year managed £5m in their second weekend of play: Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Incredibles 2 and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. Among those titles, only the Jurassic World sequel has failed to crack £50m at UK cinemas – the others are the year’s four biggest hits so far.
Bohemian Rhapsody opened in the US at the weekend with a muscular $51m. Global tally stands at $94m. Japan opens the film this weekend.
