Timothée Chalamet’s ‘A Complete Unknown’ Tops Charts in U.K. and Ireland, Defying All Odds and Logic

Roll out the red carpet, grab your popcorn, and let’s dive into the glitzy world of box office numbers! Hollywood Hrishita here, ready to spill the tea on who’s ruling the roost in the UK and Ireland. Spoiler alert: It’s not who you’d expect, unless you’re a die-hard fan of a certain folk-rock legend.

🎸 Bob Dylan Strikes Again!
Disney’s “A Complete Unknown” is strumming its way to the top, bagging a cool £1.2 million ($1.5 million) in its third weekend. Timothée Chalamet, the heartthrob of the century, is clearly doing something right as he morphs into Dylan, keeping the biopic firmly planted at No. 1. Maybe it’s the curls? Or perhaps the harmonica? 🎤

🦁 Mufasa Roars On
Meanwhile, “Mufasa: The Lion King” is still making some serious noise in the No. 2 spot. Despite being in its seventh weekend, it’s managed to claw in another $1.3 million, amassing a total of $36.4 million. Simba and pals are clearly not ready to let go of the spotlight, roaring their way through the jungle of competition.

Sonic and Companions
Racing into third, Warner Bros.’ “Companion” has made a strong debut with $915,609. Not too shabby for a newbie on the block! Hot on its heels is “Sonic the Hedgehog 4,” zipping into fourth with $877,857, nearly hitting that $30 million mark.

The Usual Suspects
Universal’s “The Brutalist” is holding its ground at No. 5, and a shoutout to “Les Miserables: The Staged Concert” for belting it out at No. 6. “Flight Risk” seems to be on a bit of a nosedive, dropping to seventh, but hey, not every thriller can keep us on the edge of our seats!

Moana’s Marathon
In eighth place, “Moana 2” is still charming its way into hearts with $506,286, making it a massive hit with families. If only my vacations lasted as long as its box office run!

New Entrants and Classics
In the land of new releases, “Hard Truths” and “Nosferatu” are filling out the ninth and tenth spots, respectively. But let’s not forget the upcoming cinematic treats! From Macbeth’s Shakespearean drama to IU’s K-pop concert, the silver screen is ready to shine!

Upcoming Releases
The week is packed with new launches: “September 5,” “Carmen – Paris Opera 2025,” and, of course, “Dog Man” for the kiddos. And for those who love a good punch, “The Fire Inside” tells the tale of Claressa ‘T-Rex’ Shields. Meanwhile, the rock gods of Led Zeppelin are making a grand entrance with “Becoming Led Zeppelin.” 🎸

Bollywood Buzz
On the desi front, “Loveyapa” is here to tug at your heartstrings, while “Narayaneente Moonnaanmakkal” and “Eleven” promise to keep you glued to your seats. Not to mention the romantic comedy “Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam” which might just make you believe in love again!

Cinephile Delight
For the true cinema lovers, a re-release of “Jeanne Dielman” and a 4K restoration of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” are hitting the screens. Talk about a visual and emotional feast!
