Thunderbolts holds top spot on Official Film Chart as Leone classic rides back in 4K

Marvel Thunderbolts

Marvel’s Thunderbolts is proving to have real staying power, spending a second consecutive week at No.1 on the Official UK Film Chart.

The film, which unites Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian and a roster of other unlikely antiheroes, continues to draw fans with its blend of espionage, psychological tension and fractured loyalties. What begins as a covert mission quickly unravels into something far more personal, as hidden truths and shifting alliances test the group’s resolve.

Joining Thunderbolts in the Top 10 is a very different band of outlaws. Sergio Leone’s The Good, The Bad and The Ugly returns to the chart at No.10, thanks to a new limited-edition 4K restoration on Blu-ray.

Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach lead one of cinema’s greatest Westerns, a story of greed, betrayal and survival set against the American Civil War. The new release has rekindled interest in Leone’s operatic gunslinger saga, which culminates in one of the most famous showdowns in film history.

Elsewhere in the chart, family adventures and big-screen spectacles continue to dominate. A Minecraft Movie climbs to No.2, while How to Train Your Dragon (2025) holds steady at No.3. Horror remains popular too, with Final Destination  Bloodlines at No.4.

Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch rounds out the Top 5, followed by supernatural thriller Sinners at No.6 and musical fantasy Wicked at No.7. Romantic comedy Bridget Jones – Mad About the Boy sits at No.8, with Dune Part Two maintaining a presence at No.9.

With superhero drama at the summit and a 1960s Western classic riding back into the charts, the current Top 10 offers both the cutting edge of blockbuster cinema and a reminder of how powerful film history remains on the home shelf.
