Fox News did air on Sky as part of the grab-bag of international news channels they have, almost certainly because both were parts of the Murdoch empire, albeit in Sky's case as a minority controlling stake. (Which is not unrelated to why they now don't - it was pulled with suspicious timing in the midst of the regulatory enquiry when 21CF tried to buy the remainder of Sky, which ultimately sparked a bidding war that Comcast won.)

£2.4m weekend (only 29% drop) for Joker, £51.6m total. So it’s made almost £5m in the past week. It’s basically guaranteed to pass TDKR now. 

 

£8.4m required to hit £60m. Can it do it?

Fox News was pulled due to shitty ratings in UK.

Looks like Joker broke another record - the first film of the decade in the UK to receive 6 consecutive weekends at #1 from it's day of release.

 

13 consecutive weekends at #1:
Titanic (1998)
7 consecutive weekends at #1:
Toy Story 2 (2000)
Gladiator (2000)
6 consecutive weekends at #1:
The World's Not Enough (1999)
Joker (2019)

Do we know the exact number for the weekend?

Last Christmas and Ford v Ferrari don't seem like incoming hits, but the numbers for Joker will probably be small enough to be knocked off the perch.

I think Last Christmas might squeak a win as it's shorter than Le Mans 66 although the latter has the PLFs so it's hard to tell either way.

Another amazing drop for Joker, this has been one of the most impressive runs ever in the UK and the fact it could end up near £60m is insane. 
 

£2m to go until it passes TDKR £56.3m which will be this weekend or sometime next week.

But what are your thoughts on Ford vs Ferrari or Last Christmas this weekend? Could they topple Joker?

If Joker has another drop of 35%, it’s weekend will be £1.1m. I imagine either of the above could top that, but it isn’t a given. Maybe Ford vs Ferrari is more likely.
