New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Bohemian Rhapsody is the champion on the UK Film Chart, climbing to Number 1 on the same week it picks up four Oscars at the 91st Academy Awards.
The
Freddie Mercury biopic lands at the top on downloads alone, with more than double the sales of this week's Number 2.
The Bohemian Rhapsody is the UK's fastest-selling digital download movie of all time, selling nearly 265,000 digital copies in its first eight days. It narrowly beats Marvel's Avengers:
Infinity War which racked up just under 253,000 digital downloads in its first eight days last Summer.
Climbing three places to return to its peak, spy caper Johnny English Strikes Again is at Number 2, ahead of last week's chart-topper A Star Is Born which slides to Number 3 - the hit 2018 film starring
Lady Gaga and Bradley
Cooper took home an Academy Award at the weekend (24 February) when Shallow was awarded Best Original Song.
First Man takes one giant leap back into the Top 10, hopping seven to Number 4 following its release on disc; while Venom slips two to Number 5 and Goosebumps 2 rises one at Number 6.
This week's highest new entry is Smallfoot (7). A yeti named Migo (Channing Tatum) who lives in a tribe at the top of the Himalayas is convinced he has spotted a "smallfoot" - a human - and tries to prove to his tribe that it, and a world below the clouds, exists. The animated adventure features an all-star cast including
James Corden, Zendaya, LeBron
James and
Danny DeVito.
At Number 8 is a second brand new entry Hunter Killer; Gerard Butler stars as a US submarine captain on a mission to rescue the Russian president. The Greatest Showman (9) spends its 17th consecutive week in the Top 10. Finally, the House With A Clock In Its
Walls (10) ticks over to another week in the chart.
