James Cameron-Wilson reports that cinema box office in the UK is currently grim, down 16% on last year at this time. New #1, comedy whodunnit See How They Run, just managed to take over £1m. James found it a hoot. A re-release of Jaws from 1975 was #3 while 3000 Years of Longing with Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba only managed #18, though James wasn't enthusiastic. At #22 is Jodie Comer in Prima Facie, now the highest-grossing event cinema release ever. At #23 was the unengaging The Forgiven with Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain.
