Downton Abbey: A New Era takes the Number 1 spot on this week’s Official Film Chart following its release on DVD and Blu-ray. 

The sequel to 2019’s Downton Abbey: The Movie, and the second big screen spin-off of the popular TV series, has outsold the rest of the Top 10 combined with a very impressive first-week tally on disc. 

The film also occupies the Number 6 spot in a boxset of Downton Abbey: The Movie and Downton Abbey: A New Era.

Last week’s chart-topper, videogame adaptation Sonic the Hedgehog 2, drops to Number 3 while Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore holds on tight at Number 2.

The Batman climbs one to Number 4, while Sing 2 jumps seven to return to the Top 5 at Number 5 and The Lost City also moves up to Number 7.

Top Gun is once again back in the countdown at Number 8 after flying seven places, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness falls three (9), and Grease slips six places on last week (10).
