Scream VI makes terrifying Number 1 debut on the Official Film Chart

Scream VI debuts at Number 1 on the Official Film Chart.

The latest feature in the Scream franchise manages the feat on digital downloads only, knocking Avatar: The Way of Water down to Number 2 and finishing over 5000 sales ahead of the film, which previously held on to the top spot for five weeks.

In Scream VI, some familiar faces return as the likes of Courteney Cox (Gale Weathers), Hayden Panettiere (Kirby Reed) and Jenna Ortega (Tina Carpenter) in the sixth instalment of the horror series.

The film sees the four survivors of the Ghostface killings leave Woodsboro to start new lives in New York, but can the group really run away from the masked murderer?

Elsewhere, Creed III is on the ascent as it climbs three to a brand-new peak (4). The third feature in the franchise sees Michael B. Jordan return as Adonis Creed, who has been thriving in both his personal and professional life – but when his childhood friend (and former boxing prodigy) returns to the scene  he’s forced to put his future on the line.

Meanwhile, Downton Abbey – A New Era is on the rebound and up 10 (8), as Fast & Furious 9 vaults an impressive 12 spots into the Top 10 following the release of its latest instalment, Fast X (9).
