Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 soars straight to Number 1

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 storms straight to Number 1 on the Official Film Chart, dethroning Avatar: The Way of Water after six non-consecutive weeks at the summit. 

The third instalment of the Marvel movie franchise, starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Salanda and Will Poulter, debuts at the top following its home entertainment release; with the Avatar sequel falling two to Number 3. 

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 sees protagonist Peter Quill (Pratt) and his squad on a mission to defend the universe for one last time – but can the Guardians put a stop to the plans of a seemingly-unstoppable force? 

Elsewhere, last week’s Number 2 Fast X is down two to Number 4, Top Gun – Maverick climbs one spot to Number 8 and The Pope’s Exorcist remains Top 10 for a third consecutive week at Number 10.
