Avengers: Endgame has biggest sales week yet selling nearly half a million copies
Avengers: Endgame shows no signs of slowing down as it tops the Official Film Chart again
Avengers: Endgame claims a third week at number one on the Official Film Chart, landing just short of half a million sales in one week, thanks to its release on physical formats.
The last movie in the Infinity Saga shifted a massive 494,000 copies to take the top spot again last week, closely followed by runner-up, Pokémon Detective Pikachu, the week’s highest new entry on digital downloads alone.
In this hyper-realistic live-action Pokémon film starring Ryan Reynolds as the eponymous character, ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his son Tim (Justice Smith) to team up with Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu, to find out what happened - uncovering a shocking plot that could threaten the whole Pokémon universe.
There’s another new entry on digital downloads in third spot, as Keanu Reeves revives his role as a former hitman in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. It misses out on highest new entry honours by just under 700 sales. In this third instalment of the action-thriller series, John Wick is on the run following the unsanctioned killing of a crime lord.
With It Chapter Two in cinemas, It (2017) climbs two places to fourth.
