Military Wives sing their way to the top of this week's film chart

Military Wives , the movie starring Sharon Horgan and Kristin Scott-Thomas, has leapt to the top of this week's film chart.

Released at the back end of 2019, the movie follows the real-life story of a group of women whose husband's are away serving in Afghanistan.

Together, they form a choir that tours the globe earning a Christmas #1 single in 2011, as well as a #1 album on Mother's Day in the following year.

Returning to previous form, no new film debuts in this week's Top 10, with Joker - previously at #16 - the only movie to make its way back into contention.

Joker will come to UK screens for the first time next month when it comes to Sky Cinema and NOW TV.

The only newcomer into this week's overall Top 40 is Picture House's True History of the Kelly Gang . The movie follows the story of Australian bushranger Ned Kelly in their attempts to evade authorities during the 1870s.

Based on a novel by Peter Carey, it stars George Mackay in the lead role and also features Russell Crowe, who plays the role of Harry Power. Movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes awards it a 79% rating.

The UK charts is made up of a combination of digital downloads and hard-copy sales. You can check out the top 40 in its entirety here.
