James Cameron’s ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ continues dominance on UK official film chart

James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash continues its dominant run at the top of the Official Film Chart, holding the Number 1 position for a third consecutive week.

Released on December 19, 2025, the latest installment in the Avatar franchise remains a strong performer in home entertainment, showing sustained audience demand well into 2026.

While Fire and Ash continues to lead, this week’s chart also saw notable shifts among several high-profile literary adaptations and recent releases gaining momentum.

The biggest mover came from Hamnet, which climbed six places to reach Number 2. Adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s acclaimed novel, the film explores grief and family life in a story that connects deeply with audiences, particularly through its ties to William Shakespeare’s personal history.

Meanwhile, Wicked: For Good continued its strong chart performance, rising to Number 3.

The musical adaptation has already spent four non-consecutive weeks at the top, underscoring its enduring popularity.

Another literary adaptation, Wuthering Heights, moved up three spots to Number 4. The latest reimagining of Emily Brontë’s classic tale of love and obsession on the Yorkshire moors continues to attract steady viewership.

At Number 5, The Housemaid held its position, maintaining its presence among the week’s most-watched titles and reinforcing the ongoing appeal of psychological thrillers.

The highest new entry of the week came from Reminders of Him, debuting at Number 9.

Based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, the romantic drama has quickly resonated with audiences seeking emotional, character-driven storytelling.

Despite fresh competition across the chart, Avatar: Fire and Ash continues to prove the staying power of Cameron’s Pandora universe, securing its place as the week’s most-watched film.
