Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder rules the Official Film Chart for the very first time following its release on disc. The sequel to 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok, starring Chris Hemsworth once again as the eponymous character, is the 29th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and climbs from Number 4 to Number 1 thanks to its release on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD.
In Thor: Love and Thunder, Thor’s retirement (and search for inner peace) comes to an end after a deadly new adversary named Gorr the God Butcher seeks to make all gods extinct.
Thor’s success sees it finish 6.5k sales ahead of this week’s Number 2 – and highest new entry of the week – action-comedy Bullet Train, whose starring cast includes Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry.
Last week’s chart-topper Jurassic World Dominion falls to Number 3, landing just ahead of Despicable Me origin story Minions: The Rise of Gru at Number 4.
