28 YEARS LATER Stalks its Way to Number One Debut in the UK Official Film Chart

We have a new Official Film Chart Number 1 this week, with Sony Pictures’ 28 Years Later landing straight at the summit.

Two decades after redefining modern horror, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland reunite to deliver a new chapter in the 28… saga. Anchored by Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes, the film blends harrowing suspense with intimate character drama, seen through the eyes of a child navigating a fractured Britain. Nearly three decades after the Rage Virus first tore through Britain, fragile pockets of survivors have carved out a life on a quarantined island. Among them is 12-year-old Spike, who ventures to the mainland with his father Jamie in search of a cure for his mother Isla’s mysterious illness.

Moving down from top spot but still riding high is Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning (2). The 2025 action spy movie sees Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) come out of hiding two months after the events of previous instalment Dead Reckoning, battling a rogue AI known as the Entity which has seized control of the world’s nuclear arsenal. He and his IMF allies – Benji (Simon Pegg), Grace (Hayley Atwell), and a terminally ill Luther (Ving Rhames) – race to retrieve a cruciform key and the AI’s source code from a sunken Russian submarine. With Luther’s sacrificial ‘poison pill’ plan, they lure the Entity to a fortified digital vault in South Africa – but can Hunt successfully stop a global annihilation?

The highest re-entry this week comes from The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, following the release of its sequel The Conjuring: Last Rites in cinemas worldwide this week. The chilling saga inspired by real events continues as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren face a case of demonic possession that shocks even them. Blending courtroom drama with supernatural horror, the film keeps the Conjuring universe haunting audiences long after the credits roll.
