If you're arachnophobic, look away now! Spider-Man has spun a web across the Official Video Chart this week and is swinging his way to Number 1.

The third Spider-Man reboot in 15 years, Spider-Man: Homecoming starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker, dominates today's Official Video Chart Update, a midweek glance at what Sunday's final Official Video Chart may look like.

Spider-Man has the rest of the Marvel cinematic universe around him this time around - Robert Downey Jr appears in the movie as Iron Man, with Homecoming acting as a follow-up to Captain America: Civil War.

Homecoming has so far so 108,000 DVD and Blu-ray units in just three days, and is all but certain to become Number 1 on Sunday, despite strong sales across the Top 10 this week. The latest Spider-Man will surprisingly be only the third of its kind to hit Number 1. Previously, Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 3 topped the chart in 2007, while Andrew Garfield's take on Spidey in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 reached Number 1 in 2014.

Elsewhere in this week's Top 5, the new Trolls: Holiday short boasts impressive sales of 44,000 at Number 2, Micky Flanagan is also performing strong at Number 3 following 31,000 copies of An' Another Fing Live being sold. Last week's Number 1 Despicable Me 3 drops to Number 4, while Cars 3 falls three to Number 5.
