Comparison to Previous Films
The Magic: Last Rites has already exceeded the total box office takings of the previous films in the series, including The Magic (£10.5m, 2013), The Enfield Case (£11m, 2016), and The Devil Made Me Do It (£9.6m, 2021).
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has also exceeded the total box office takings of the previous films in the series, with a total of £5 million.
Other Films
A Big, Brave, Nice Journey started slowly, taking £532,327 from 649 locations. This reflects the soft international start of the film.
Overall Box Office Performance
The top five films took a total of £6.1 million, a 53% drop from the previous weekend. However, this is still a 28% increase from the same weekend last year, as cinemas in Great Britain look to follow a difficult August with a better September.
The highly-rated film One Battle After Another from Paul Thomas Anderson is expected to perform well this weekend, offering a good chance for Warner Bros. to take the top spot.
