Night At The Museum 3 heading for Number 1 on DVD & Blu-ray chart

Night at the Museum 3 is on course to top this week’s Official Video Chart.

The third instalment of the mystical adventure franchise, which stars Robin Williams, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, is currently sitting comfortably at Number 1, with 57,000 sales at the midweek stage (with three days trade remaining).

This will be a third Number 1 for the Night at the Museum franchise, with instalments 1 & 2 topping the Official Video Chart in April 2007 and November 2009 respectively.

It will also represent the second Number 1 from 20^th Century Fox in 2015, following from the success of Gone Girl, back in February. The Night at the Museum 1 – 3 box set is also on course for Number 18 in Sunday’s Official Video Chart.

Elsewhere, two other new entries look set to enter the Official Video Chart Top 10. Metrodome’s comedy-horror mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows is set to finish at Number 6, whilst Black Sea, released by Universal Pictures and starring Jude Law, is just behind at Number 7.

For a third week, Paddington and Interstellar are also continuing their ongoing battle, with Paddington leading the race to be at Number 2 with 21,000 sales after half the week, 6,000 copies ahead of Interstellar at Number 3.
