Palazzo di Cozzo, the furniture dealer’s film, is in cinemas.

The box office is pretty frozen at the moment. Dune is the first film likely to warm the market. It hits the US and China on October 22, along with US streaming. Here we wait until December 2.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings still dominates, gaining an extra 10% of screens in week three, making $1.15 million over the weekend, and now up to $5.56 million altogether.
