Before the first blockbuster of the 5th phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe starts in the cinemas next week, it was necessary to claw the coveted and prestigious number 1 for at least a week. Favorites for the podium included a giant punt, an NBA superstar, a stripping dancer and the sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time. The previous number 1, the new mystery thriller by M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense), on the other hand, really sucked.

Titanic, James Cameron’s 1997 classic, celebrates its re-release with a number three spot on the charts.
