The U.K. and Ireland box office maintained a steady rhythm over the weekend as Disney’s “Toy Story 5” retained the number one spot for a third consecutive frame. The Pixar release collected £5.7 million ($7.6 million), pushing its three-week cumulative total to £37.9 million ($50.7 million).
Universal secured second place with the wide-circuit launch of “Minions & Monsters.” Rolling out with full saturation across more than 300 locations, the film generated a solid opening weekend of $5.8 million.
Black Bear’s ensemble comedy-drama “The Invite” opened in third place, rolling out across more than 300 sites to bank an opening frame of $1.06 million. The performance narrowly edged out Warner Bros.’ superhero holdover “Supergirl,” which moved to fourth place in its sophomore session, pocketing £$1.05 million for a 10-day running total of $6 million.
Universal also controlled the middle of the chart with its holdovers. The horror-romance “Obsession” took the fifth spot in its eighth week of release with $661,785, lifting its cumulative total to $23.4 million. Right behind at number six, Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi thriller “Disclosure Day” captured $653,153 in its fourth weekend, driving its total to $15.8 million.
