Also new to the box office ladder is romantic dramedy The Big Sick. Along with Charlize Theron’s action flick in no. 3, this film makes a strong debut in a relatively quiet week in the cinemas.  The Big Sick earned $1.09m and sits at no. 4 at the box office.

Baby Driver took the biggest fall this week, sitting at no. 5 now compared to no. 3 last week.  Earning $845k this week, it has been in cinemas for nearly a month, and has earned almost $12m since its debut.

Next week sees the debut of horror film Annabelle: Creation, and, whilst it hasn’t been getting a lot of buzz, it does star Aussie Miranda Otto.
