James Cameron-Wilson casts his eye over the UK box office, picking up after the previous lethargic week. Disney's live-action remake of Aladdin, with Will Smith in lieu of Robin Williams, clinches the #1 spot, keeping out the Elton John musical Rocketman. In #3 place is The Secret Life of Pets 2. For home release James recommends Mark Gillis's British movie Sink, comparing it to I, Daniel Blake only with laughs.
