Well this week post is much more on time than last week. Out on the later time schedule is miles better than 5-6 days later.
Anyway, not much has changed in the UK charts, with Joker still holding onto number one for another week, even though it’s market sales dropped. Maleficent and The Addams Family stay in the top five with The Aeronauts opening to number two and The Good Liar filling out the top five. Other openers sees Midway at sixth and Better Days at fifteenth. Dark Fate falls again, just staying in to the top ten with Doctor Sleep.
And just as every entertainment chart, there is the ‘art’ entry. This one is no exception but this time there is two. The Madama Butterfly opera comes into the chart at twelfth, and 42nd Street The Musical comes in at seventh. It bodes well as next week sees a lot of special releases and cinema events.
