2024 is now in the past, for Timothée Chalamet it was a ‘sweet year’. The British Association for Screen Entertainment (BASE) who provide the Official Film Chart, revealed the figures. Those figures revealed Roald Dahl’s Wonka topped the 2024 UK Chart!

Timothée Chalamet starred in the lead role in this adaptation of Wonka. Working its magic for UK audiences in 2024, with 821k individual purchases or rentals of the film by audiences across Home Entertainment. This figure includes all sales and rentals of the film across Digital and Disc (EST, VOD, Blu-ray and DVD).

Far from being a ‘Complete Unknown’, Wonka and Dune Part Two adding £19.5mn revenue to the £64mn[Wonka] and the £39.5mn[Dune Part Two] UK earned at the UK Box Office.

Dune: Part Two was also the top selling title on disc, selling 132k copies on Blu-ray and DVD combined, at a value of £2mn[, playing a part in the continuing £156mn value of the UK market for films and TV on disc in 2024, with 3mn consumers buying DVD and Blu-ray across the UK.

Following its success as the biggest disc title of 2023, Christopher Nolan’s Best Picture OSCAR™ smash Oppenheimer  blew away the rental competition in the UK, selling 487k units. This continued popularity for the Christopher Nolan epic helped the film  grab the number three spot in the chart, with total sales of 697k across all formats.

Not the biggest surprise in the world here in the UK, we love ‘Buying at home’ (EST).The UK’s favourite way to watch and keep films fresh from the cinema, with Deadpool & Wolverine proved to be the audience favourite, with 465k units sold since its UK Home Entertainment digital release on October 1st 2024, following it’s £60m performance at the UK Box Office since 25th July 2024, before it’s Disney+ premiere in the UK on November 12th 2024. This helped the film snatch the number four spot in the chart, with a total of 621.5k purchases across all formats.

Buying at home (EST) proved incredibly popular with families, in a fantastic year for children’s films: Inside Out 2 followed an impressive Box Office performance of £61mn to become the fourth biggest selling title to buy at home (EST) with 253k units sold before it’s Disney+ debut on September 25th.

Liz Bales, Chief Executive, BASE said: “Visual entertainment in the UK ended 2024 with a bang! In November the UK Box Office was up 78% YoY with 13.24mnissions, and Home Entertainment sured a value of £5bn for the first time, the largest player in the £12bn UK Home Entertainment sector. And Home Entertainment has already exploded out of the blocks in 2025: NBCUniversal’s WICKED was released at home on Friday 3rd January and landed in the all-time EST top three for week one, based on just two days of sales. This promises to be another great year for visual entertainment audiences in the UK.”
