Flying back up the chart and landing at Number 3 is 1997 sci-fi classic The Fifth Element, whilst Godzilla: King of the Monsters (4) continues to enjoy a stint in the Top 5 ahead of the release of Godzilla vs. Kong next month.
Further down, Black Panther zooms 24 places this week to Number 6 following the release of a new 4K SteelBook edition of the film. It lands just ahead of last week’s Number 1, Bill & Ted Face The Music at 7. Finally, Trolls World Tour rebounds into the Top 10 at Number 10, its highest chart placing since early December.
