Snow White remains at the top of the UK box office for a second week, ahead of A Working Man which has opened in second place.

Disney’s latest live-action reimagining, starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, is now up to £6.8 million following its second week in cinemas. Screen Daily reports that this is down on the £16.2 million recorded by The Little Mermaid (2023) at the same stage. It is, however, ahead of the £4.5 million grossed by the Emma Stone-starring Cruella (2021) after two weeks.

A Working Man, starring Jason Statham and directed by David Ayer, has debuted with £658,134. The action thriller, which is co-written by Ayer and Sylvester Stallone, is based on Chuck Dixon’s 2014 novel Levon’s Trade. Statham stars as a former counter-terrorist operative who has left his past life behind to work a construction job. However, he is called back into action after a young girl is kidnapped. A Working Man also opened at the top of the US box office, displacing Snow White.

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is in third place with £561,120. This takes its box office total to £45.5 million. It is ahead of Novocaine, starring Jack Quaid, which has opened in fourth place with £442,000. The action comedy, directed by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, focuses on a bank teller who can’t feel pain as he attempts to rescue a colleague from a group of determined bank robbers.

Steven Soderbergh’s thriller Black Bag, starring Cate Blanchett, is in fifth with £421,458. This takes its UK box office total up to £3.1 million after three weeks.

Outside of the top five, Gints Zilbalodis’ Flow dropped just 17% with £292,842. This takes the Academy Award-winning animation’s total up to £868,829 for Curzon.
