Written by Arthur

Christopher Nolan’s time-bending epic Tenet has taken the top spot in the final UK Official Film Chart of 2020. Notching up 149,000 sales across disc and digital to outsell the rest of the Top 5 combined, the sci-fi action hit stars John David Washington as the Protagonist, a secret agent who manipulates time to prevent World War III. Robert Pattinson, Michael Caine, and Elizabeth Debicki also star.

Flying 15 places up the chartm Roald Dahl’s The Witches lands at Number 2 this week. The modern remake of the classic children’s book stars Anne Hathaway, Octavia Spencer and Stanley Tucci. Jim Carrey’s The Grinch (2000) holds firm at Number 3, and Love Actually also freezes in place at Number 4. Elf’s three-week stint at Number 1 ends as it drops to Number 5.

Falling a few places but holding on to a spot in the Top 10 are Last Christmas (6), Home Alone (7), The Polar Express (8) and The Muppet Christmas Carol (9). Finally, the 2018 animated version of The Grinch returns to the Top 10 after climbing one place to Number 10.
