Black Bear's Wicker, the Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgard folk-romance, debuted at No. 1 in the UK and Ireland with £1.76 million ($2.34 million), beating Robert Pattinson's Primetime by just £10,141. Screen Daily put the opening, including previews, around £1.8 million from Black Bear's widest UK release. Ghosts: The Possession of Button House, Clayface and Wildwood filled out the rest of a quiet pre-Godzilla frame.
