Horror film Saint Maud opened in second position at the UK Box Office over the weekend as the cinema industry continues to struggle.

More chains are expected to close down - or partially close - for the winter months following the decision to delay most major releases planned for this year to 2021 amid ongoing uncertainty due to coronavirus.

Saint Maud - one of the few new releases out in October - follows a nurse in a hospice who is determined to save the soul of one of her terminally-ill patients and has generally been well-received by critics.

Over its opening weekend in the UK the film grossed £263,433 for second in the chart, just behind Tenet, which made it seven weeks at number one with a further £296,049 in box office sales for a total to date of over £16.5 million.

Cult Japanese manga Akira fared well on its re-release, taking third spot with £201,124.

Over the last week Cineworld has closed its UK venues - including Picturehouse - until 2021, while Vue and Odeon have moved to weekend-only operation for some venues.
