Here are ten most-watched movies in SA this past weekend: The period drama has an 83% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it drew concern from critics who deemed the racially-charged violence “ gratuitous“, “ numbing” and “ strangely disengaged from the cultural and systemic forces that led to police brutality in 1967.” Thanks to both the newcomers and Despicable Me 3’s refusal to budge more than one spot to sixth, the critically-acclaimed war epic unceremoniously bombed in its fourth week on the chart.įinally, Katheryn Bigelow’s Detroit failed to even grace the top ten this week, though it did only open in 29 cinemas nationwide. The biggest drop of the week goes to none other than Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk ( review) after it sunk three spots from fourth to seventh. The film has received dismal reviews, but it did allegedly get a hysterical woman to punch herself in the face, so who needs critics anyway? The all-female reboot of Chucky (not really) Anabelle opened in fifth spot. The animated film held firm in third place, forcing Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver to drop down into fourth. Dir: Patrick Hughes Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L Jackson, Gary Oldman, Élodie Yung, Salma Hayek, Richard E. It was the battle of the babies in third and fourth as Baby Driver and Son of Bigfoot went head to head for the last spot in the top three - and it’s no surprise Bigfoot won out against Ansel Elgort, who almost anyone could take in a fight. The Hitmans Bodyguard review: a corrosively unlikeable, end-of-summer shambles.
