Trolls Band Together marches up to Number 1 on the Official Film Chart

Trolls Band Together earns its place in the sun as it flies to Number 1 on the Official Film Chart.

The star-studded Dreamworks sequel to Trolls World Tour, and third instalment in the Trolls franchise, becomes the Number 1 film in the UK after climbing nine places. Its predecessor Trolls World Tour was the first film to reach six consecutive weeks at Number 1 back in the Summer of 2020, and spent a total of seven non-consecutive weeks at the top.

Meanwhile, Oppenheimer rebounds one place to Number 2, while last week’s chart-topper The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes drops to Number 3. Denzel Washington-led Action thriller The Equalizer 3 holds on at Number 4 for another week, holding back Barbie at Number 5.

At Number 6, and flying nine places, anticipated sequel The Exorcist: Believer earns a brand new peak on the Official Film Chart; it debuted at Number 9 in November.

The highest new entry of the week is French courtroom drama Anatomy of a Fall (7) starring Sandra Hüller and Swann Arlaud. After her husband Samuel is found dead under suspicious circumstances in the snow outside their home, German writer Sandra is indicted for his murder. The film follows her trial picking apart their relationship, while their son is caught in the middle.

Rounding out this week’s Top 10 are former chart toppers Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (8), family-friendly adventure Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie (9), and biopic Elvis (10) which re-enters the Top 10 for the first time since May 2023.
