Spider-man: Into The Spider-Verse swings five places up to Number 1 on the Official Film Chart after a tight battle with Mary Poppins Returns.

With Avengers: End Game dominating the cinema box-office, 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War charges up six places to Number 3 as an impressive fifteen superhero films feature in this week’s Top 40, with thirteen of the titles based on Marvel comics’ characters including Thor, Captain America and Dr Strange. 

Mortal Engines rebounds seven spots to Number 4 following its disc release; Aquaman drops three to 5; Bohemian Rhapsody gets another week in the chart at Number 6.
