We previously stated that Terminator: Dark Fate would have a chance to take the number one position in the UK film charts – and it appears that the movie has done exactly that.
Terminator: Dark Fate initially debuted at number 3 in the charts for digital but The Official Charts UK combine digital and physical sales, so since the Blu-Ray and DVD hit stores it has bumped T:DF from last week’s number 4 position to the number one slot.

| 2 | New | MIDWAY – LIONSGATE | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 | JOKER – WARNER HOME VIDEO | 1 | 6 |
| 4 | 13 | THE ADDAMS FAMILY – UNIVERSAL PICTURES | 4 | 3 |
| 5 | 2 | MALEFICENT – MISTRESS OF EVIL – WALT DISNEY | 1 | 4 |

| 9 | 6 | DOCTOR SLEEP – WARNER HOME VIDEO | 6 | 2 |
| 10 | 10 | ABOMINABLE – DREAMWORKS ANIMATION | 5 | 5 |
As we previously discussed, the competition wasn’t very strong but Terminator: Dark Fate has managed to knock JOKER off the top spot, though that doesn’t mean Joker; a movie which has shown staying power, can’t creep back up to the top as Terminator: Dark Fate’s home release in the United States shows a trend of dropping off the top spot and dropping down the chart positions fairly quickly. Regardless, this is a win for Terminator: Dark Fate fans and somewhat of a triumph for the studios in recouping some of the money lost by the studios/investors.
