It was a tight contest this weekend for the top of the box office with
IF taking over at the top of the UK box office by about £300,000.
The Ryan Reynolds starring movie took over at the top of the box office with a debut gross of £2.4 Million.
The last movie directed by John Krasinski A Quiet Place: Part II made its debut at the top with £3.4 Million in June 2021.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes falls to number 2 this weekend but it put up a fight to keep the crown and only just lost out.
The movie has taken a very good £7.6 Million to date.
The Strangers: Chapter 1 also makes its debut on the UK box office top 5 at number 4 with £452,506.
The UK box office top 15 took a little more than last weekend which was a big low but the numbers a still no where near past movie summer seasons which is a worrying sign for the cinema industry.
