Project Hail Mary reclaims top spot on official film chart ahead of Avatar and Mario

The sci-fi epic Project Hail Mary has climbed one place to return to Number 1 on the Official Film Chart, reclaiming the top spot in a competitive week of home entertainment releases. Released by MGM, the blockbuster movie follows a lone astronaut on a desperate, high-stakes mission to save humanity from an extinction-level threat as he uncovers the extraordinary lengths required to stop it.

The chart shake-up saw Avatar: Fire and Ash rise two places to secure the Number 2 position. The visual spectacle returns audiences to the world of Pandora, exploring new conflicts, cultures, and dangers that reshape the landscape of the Na’vi. This surge pushed last week’s chart-topper, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, down two places to Number 3. The animated cosmic adventure sees Mario and his companions journey far beyond the Mushroom Kingdom on a colorful journey packed with galaxy-sized stakes.

Lionsgate's psychological thriller The Housemaid enjoyed a two-place climb to land at Number 4, tracking the mounting tensions and secrets of a domestic worker embedded within a wealthy household. Right behind at Number 5 is the week's highest new entry, the Avatar: 3 Movie Collection, which bundles James Cameron’s entire blockbuster sci-fi saga into a single home entertainment release.

The lower half of the chart features several shifting favorites, beginning with the 2026 adaptation of Wuthering Heights, which slipped one position to Number 6. The gothic romance revisits the destructive bond between Heathcliff and Catherine across the Yorkshire moors. Meanwhile, A Minecraft Movie held steady at Number 7, continuing its strong run as a family favorite, followed closely by the musical fantasy Wicked: For Good, which climbed two places to Number 8.
