King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and Baywatch are neck-and-neck on this week’s Official Video Chart

Plus a Disney promotion sends many animated favourites back into the Top 40.

It’s a hunk-off at the top of the Official Video Chart as two popular new entries battle it out to be crowned this week’s Number 1 bestselling DVD and Blu-ray title.

Today’s Official Video Chart Update, the midweek rundown of home entertainment sales in the UK, sees Charlie Hunnam’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (1) just 800 copies ahead of Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron’s Baywatch (2).

Both movies have sold in excess of 20,000 units across the three-day sales window so far this week, but who will bag the coveted top spot? The final Official Video Chart Top 100 will be published at 5:45pm this Sunday.
