Tom Hardy's 'Venom' is No. 1 in the Official Film Chart as 'Darkest Hour' reenters the Top Ten


Tom Hardy’s Venom has taken the No. 1 spot in the Official Film Chart.

Sony’s Marvel movie debuted in the top spot on digital downloads alone, outselling 2018’s biggest film and this week’s No. 2 film The Greatest Showman by 4,000 units.

The UK has been watching Gary Oldman’s Oscar-winning turn as Winston Churchill as Darkest Hour reentered the chart at No. 10.

BlacKkKlansman entered the Top 10 for the first time, reaching a peak position of No. 7
7, no doubt off the back of the film’s award season love.

This week’s Official Film Chart online show features a sneak peek at Gaspar Noé’s twisted horror
Climax, which is available to download and keep from February 4 and to buy on disc from February
11.
