The Creator makes Number 1 debut on the Official Film Chart

Sci-fi action film The Creator makes a Number 1 debut on the Official Film Chart.

Entering at the top on only digital downloads, the film stars John David Washington as an ex-special forces agent, recruited to hunt down and kill ‘the Creator’, an elusive AI architect who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war between humans and the forces of artificial intelligence – and humankind itself.

Meanwhile, bouncing back to its previous peak is Poirot mystery A Haunting In Venice (2), also on digital downloads only, while last week’s Number 1, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 drops to Number 3. Greta Gerwig’s Barbie continues to enjoy an ongoing reign inside the Top 10 at Number 4.

This week’s biggest release on physical formats is DC Studios’ latest Blue Beetle, flying 12 places to Number 5 following its release on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD.

Gran Turismo speeds back up two places to Number 6, while former chart-topper The Super Mario Bros. Movie finishes at 7, and action movie The Expendables 4 drops four to Number 8.

Fast X retains a place in the countdown at Number 9, and rounding out the Top 10 this week is Jennifer Lawrence’s summer rom-com No Hard Feelings, making a re-entry at Number 10.
