Paddington in Peru makes big Number 1 debut on the Official Film Chart

Paddington Bear

Paddington in Peru debuts at Number 1 on the Official Film Chart on digital downloads only.

Marking the fourth new chart topper of the year, Paddington in Peru is the third film in the Paddington film series and sees the beloved bear return to Peru with the Brown family to see Aunt Lucy – quickly finding themselves plunged into an unexpected and thrilling adventure.

As a result Moana 2 drops to Number 2, but stays strong ahead of strong competition from glittering musical Wicked (3), religious conspiracy thriller Conclave (4), and chart regular Venom: The Last Dance (5).

The modern retelling of Nosferatu hangs on to a place in the Top 10 at Number 6, finishing ahead of classic 2001 rom-com Bridget Jones’s Diary at Number 7, which sees a big increase in sales thanks to the fourth film of the series, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, entering cinemas.

Also joining Bridget Jones’s Diary in the Top 20 this week as fans revisit the series are its sequels Bridget Jones’s Baby (7) and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (13), the third and second instalments respectively.

Former chart-topper Gladiator II lands at Number 8, and rounding this week’s Top 10 is The Wild Robot at Number 10.
