The latest instalment in the Star Wars universe, 'The Mandalorian and Grogu', has taken the number one spot at the UK box office, according to a recent report from Box Office Mojo.
However, the film's success comes as a horror movie 'Obsession' achieves an incredibly rare feat - becoming the first film to gross over £1m at the UK box office in its 22nd week of release.
This achievement is a testament to the enduring popularity of the 'Obsession' franchise, which has managed to maintain a steady stream of viewers despite its initial poor box office performance.
The Mandalorian and Grogu film is on course to match 'Solo: A Star Wars Story', which holds the lowest opening in Star Wars history, according to Box Office Mojo.
The film's success is a boost to the UK film industry, which has been struggling to maintain its popularity in recent years. The UK government has invested in various initiatives to support the film industry, including a £1.2 billion investment in a new film tax relief scheme.
In response to the news, Conservative MP Julian Knight, chair of the DCMS select committee, said: 'The success of The Mandalorian and Grogu is a testament to the enduring popularity of the Star Wars franchise. However, we must also acknowledge the challenges facing the UK film industry and continue to support initiatives that promote its growth.'
