The Business of Film: The Invisible Man
James Cameron-Wilson examines the latest UK box office chart. He recommends The Invisible Man which debuts at #1 as well as true-live environmental legal drama Dark Waters at #4. At #11 is French arthouse movie Portrait of a Lady on Fire, which is another tip from James. For home entertainment, he favours Terminator: Dark Fate which is, he feels, a return to form for the franchise.

The Business of Film: The Call of the Wild
James Cameron-Wilson on the UK box office, where Sonic the Hedgehog remained at #1 during half term week, with Parasite moving down to the #3 spot. Harrison Ford in The Call of the Wild enters at #4, Like a Boss is #8, Brahms: The Boy II is #9. Greed, with Steve Coogan – we're assured – NOT playing Sir Philip Green is Jame's favourite new film but only makes it to #11. His home release of the week is Sons of Denmark.
