Last weekend's Top Twenty movies

Best Movies | Worst Movies | Records | Nouveau records

As expected (again) the Avengers held on to the number one spot, although we'll have to see what happens next week when Deadpool 2 arrives. As far as the big picture goes, its 60.4 MR puts it at number 4 on the all-time earners list, and that after only three weeks.

Stablemate The Black Panther has now dropped out of the Top Ten with a record-setting R106,739,402.

The other new releases did more or less as expected, with kiddie-friendly Sherlock Gnomes slotting in at number 2, while adult human-trafficking drama Traffik made it to number 5.

The religious-themed I Can Only Imagine landed at number 7, which is possibly a bit disappointing considering how it did Stateside... maybe it needs word of mouth to work. The other two new releases landed outside the top ten.
