Murder on the Orient Express on the right track towards the Official Video Chart Number 1

The latest incarnation of classic novel Murder on the Orient Express is speeding its way to Number 1 on the Official Video Chart.

In today's Chart Update, which tallies up physical sales of DVDs and Blu-rays from the past three days, the all-star mystery drama starring Kenneth Branagh, Penelope Cruz, Dame Judi Dench and Willem Dafoe has shifted 72,000 units, some 30,000 more than its nearest rival.

Last week's Number 1 Thor: Ragnarok falls to Number 2, but can take pride in being the fastest-selling release of 2018 so far with first week sales of 300,000. The rest of the midweek Top 5 is made up of new entries; Bad Moms - A Bad Moms Christmas is at Number 3 (with a double-pack including the new release and its prequel charting at Number 21), and Outlander: Complete Season 3 is at Number 4.
