    Film Analysis<\/h2>\n

    Downton Abbey: The Great Finale<\/em> has beaten its predecessor, A New Era<\/em>, which debuted with \u00a33.1m in 2022. However, it didn’t match the original film’s \u00a35.2m debut in 2019. The film performed well in independent cinemas and was particularly successful in Odeon Luxe Cinemas.<\/p>\n

    Anime Success<\/h2>\n

    The Japanese animation Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle<\/em> took the second spot with a strong opening of \u00a33.5m. This is the largest opening for an anime title in the territory, and it’s likely to become the highest-grossing anime film ever.<\/p>\n

    Other Films<\/h2>\n

    The Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk<\/em> opened at \u00a31.2m, which is the largest opening for a King adaptation since 2019’s IT: Chapter Two<\/em>. Disney’s The Roses<\/em> fell by 38% with \u00a3939,197, bringing its total to \u00a37.3m. The comedy More Triggered Friday<\/em> added \u00a3210,100 to its total, bringing it up to \u00a38.5m.<\/p>\n

    New Releases<\/h2>\n

    The long-awaited mockumentary sequel Spine Tap II: The Ending Continues<\/em> opened with a disappointing \u00a3215,115. The Russian animation Dogs in the Opera<\/em> debuted with \u00a333,696, while the Spanish drama Deaf<\/em> opened with \u00a314,198.<\/p>\n
