Paramount’s ‘Gladiator II’ No. 1 in U.K. Home Entertainment Retail Release


Gladiator II
January 22, 2025
Paramount sequel Gladiator II ranked No. 1 as it made its U.K. home entertainment sales debut with 131,000 unit sales in its opening week on digital downloads only.
This marks the third consecutive week of a chart-topping movie in the U.K. generating more than 100,000 units in sales, following the success of Universal’s Wicked earlier this month.
The debut follows the predecessor’s success in November; Gladiator spent a week at the top that month when Gladiator II entered U.K. cinemas.
Meanwhile, Wicked slipped to No. 2, while Focus Features’ Conclave (No. 3) and The Wild Robot (No. 4) also dropped one place week-on-week. Despicable Me 4 soared back up 18 spots to No. 5, returning to the top 10 for the first time this year. It previously peaked at No. 2.
The sci-fi horror sequel Alien: Romulus fell one spot to No. 6, just ahead of the top 10 return of the Christmas slasher film Terrifier 3 (not distributed by Cineverse outside North America), up four spots to a new peak at No. 7.
MUBI’s The Substance rebounded 28 spots to No. 8, finishing ahead of Sony’s Venom: The Last Dance (No. 9) and Warner’s original The Wizard of Oz (No. 10), the latter up 10 spots.
