The Business of Film: Freaky, Another Round and French Exit
James Cameron-Wilson on the collapse in weekend box office thanks to Wimbledon and the Euros. The Vince Vaughn comedy-horror Freaky comes in at #6, with James saying he hasn't heard so much laughter in the cinema for some time. Danish film Another Round, starring Mads Mikkelsen, only made #9. Winner of the best Foreign Language Film Oscar it did, however, have the second-best screen average. French Exit, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, only made the #22 slot. On Amazon Prime, James recommends the well-paced sci-fi thriller The Tomorrow War starring Chris Pratt.

The Bigger Picture: The challenges for Sajid Javid and why Batley & Spen is so important for Labour
Political commentator Mike Indian looks at the challenges being faced by Sajid Javid as the new Secretary of State for Health and what changes it is likely to bring in the Cabinet's response to the Covid pandemic. In the wake of Matt Hancock's resignation, he raises renewed concerns about those people who advise our senior politicians. And he explains why the result of the Batley & Spen by-election is more important to Labour than people think and why it should serve as a wake-up call to Keir Starmer.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Why we shouldn't trust central bankers' views on inflation
For Tim Price, director of Price Value Partners, the only story in town at the moment is inflation. He places little trust in the view of central bankers that the inflation now being seen will be temporary. With the massive rise of government, corporate and consumer debt in so many countries, he considers the situation extremely dangerous and likely to worsen quickly. Although painting a pessimistic picture, he promises next week to suggest some positive moves worried investors can make to protect themselves.

He is particularly optimistic if growth and inflation surprise on the upside.

The Business of Film: Fast & Furious 9, Supernova & In The Earth
James Cameron-Wilson celebrates a Pandemic box office record, with Fast & Furious 9 taking over £6m in the UK over the weekend, a film he found hugely entertaining despite its preposterousness. In at #8 is Supernova, a road movie with Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci in the mould of The Father, which slipped down the charts. Outside the top ten he was impressed with the Ben Wheatley horror pic In The Earth, filmed in just 15 days in lockdown on an estate near Henley.

The Bigger Picture: What does Chesham mean and are there different Covid rules for the elite and us?
Political commentator Mike Indian ponders what the consequences of the Chesham by-election could be for the major political parties. Is it a flash in the pan or a precursor of something bigger? With Covid rules appearing to be different for the G7 leaders and UEFA officials, is there one set of rules for most of us and a different set for the elite? What does the changing leadership of the DUP mean for Northern Irish politics? And he looks at the changes in Labour's backroom team.
