Gladiator II triumphs in the arena for a second week, retaining its position at the top of the Official Film Chart.

The Ridley Scott-directed historical epic – starring Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal – recently picked up an Oscar nomination for Best Costume Design, while it’s up for three nods at this year’s BAFTAs, including Best Film.

Another big Oscar hopeful – and former Number 1 – Wicked keeps at Number 2 this week. The blockbuster musical adaption scored a magnificent 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Cynthia Erivo and Best Supporting Actress for Ariana Grande.

Other Academy Award hopefuls present in the Official Film Chart this week include Conclave (5) up for Best Picture and Best Actor for Ralph Fiennes,  Alien: Romulus (7) which has a nod for Best Visual Effects and Best Picture nominee Dune: Part Two (8).

Despite its lead actress Naomi Scott being shut out of awards contention, horror sequel delight Smile 2 re-enters the Top 10 at a brand-new peak (7). It previously reached Number 10 earlier this month.

Finally, Small Things Like These is this week’s highest new entry (10). The historical drama stars Cillian Murphy, and is based on the Irish Magdalene Laundries, which were run to house ‘fallen women’ from 18th to the late 20th centuries.
