Sing 2 is opening in 635 sites – a 14.4% increase on the 555-site opening of first title Sing in 2017. That film took a huge £6.25m at a location average of £11,261; this figure was boosted to a £10.5m total opening by two days of previews that brought in £4.19m.

“Spider-Man: No Way Home” may not be winning any BAFTAs this year due to Sony not providing screeners to voting members, but that mattered not a whit to punters in the U.K. and Ireland who made the film top the territory for the fourth weekend in succession.
The film swung its way to £4.4 million ($6.07 million), according to numbers released by Comscore. With a total of £79.3 million ($107.6 million), “Spider-Man: No Way Home” has overtaken “The Lion King” and will prove an iceberg to “Titanic” (£80.2 million) for eighth position in the all time U.K. and Ireland box office chart.
In second position, Disney release “The King’s Man” collected £905,092 and now has £5.3 million after two weekends.
Universal’s “Licorice Pizza” debuted in third place with £879,373, while eOne’s “Clifford the Big Red Dog” continued its stellar run with £623,074 in fourth place and now has a total of £7.3 million after five weekends.
