UK Box Office Weekend Report 26th - 28th June 2015: There are a bunch of Minions holding up the top of the UK box office this weekend
Robert Hyde | 2nd July 2015
This week Jurassic World lost its 2 week hold at the top of the UK box office and made way for the little yellow Minions which makes its debut at the top.
Taking over the number 1 spot this weekend with a very good debut gross of £11.5 million, and it's clearly looking to repeat the success set by its parent series sequel Despicable Me 2 from which the Minions became famous.
Despicable Me 2 was released at about the same time in 2013 and took £14 million on it's opening weekend, and it went on to become the top grossing film of that year.
Jurassic World fell a single place on it's third weekend of release but the film is still doing well at the UK box office and is now the top grossing film of the year with £48.9 million.
Other new films this weekend are Knock Knock from horror director Eli Routh which is new at number 7 and Slow West which makes its debut at number 10.
