Speak No Evil, starring James McAvoy, remains second with £641,119. This takes the horror remake's UK box office gross to just under £4 million.
Body horror The Substance, starring Demi Moore and directed by Coralie Fargeat, is third. An extra £420,495 in its second week takes the film's total to £1.5 million.

The Outrun, starring Saoirse Ronan, is the highest-placed new release at the UK box office. It debuted in fifth with £397,526 across 300 sites. Directed by Nora Fingscheidt, The Outrun is based on Amy Liptrot's 2016 memoir of the same name. It focuses on a young woman who leaves London for her parental home in Orkney to try and recover from a crippling alcohol addiction.
Fingscheidt's drama has opened ahead of Megalopolis, directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The epic sci-fi drama grossed £357,047 across its opening weekend. Worldwide, the film has made $6.2 million on a reported $120 million budget. The Associated Press describes Megalopolis as a “mega-flop.”
