With DC’s newest film, Shazam! being in the cinema this weekend, it holds its place at the top of the chart and fatigue finally hit the Captain Marvel film. Its clear to see that any and all superhero films are dominating at the box office in this generation. The extent these films achieve is on a scale not seen before in box office history, these universal stories of good verses evil have sprawled to a massive phenomenon where films released theatrically are almost like new episodes to a TV show. The live action re-make of the Disney classic, Dumbo, means that Disney have again got two films in the three at the UK box office. These nostalgia driven re-imaginations always do well in the box office because it reminds one generation of their childhood while simultaneously introducing a wonderful story to a new generation. We have a completely new box office line-up this week apart from Captain Marvel, again show just how well comic book movies do at the box office. Compared to previous weeks, were we saw films hitting the £1 million and over mark, this week has seen relatively low numbers, which is odd because all these films are newer. This is probably a lull before the storm (the storm being Avengers: Endgame).
