Oh, and Universal’s “Despicable Me 4”? Still holding its ground at fourth place, adding another £1.4 million to its £41.9 million stash. Is it just me or are those Minions practically printing money? 😏

Curzon’s “Kneecap” made a strong debut, landing at No. 5 with just over £1 million, while Warner Bros.’ “Blink Twice” opened at No. 6 with £746,328. Seems like blinking twice might be all it takes to miss this one! 😂
