Liam Neeson takes over from Robert De Niro this weekend in Honest Thief which makes a very strong (in the current climate) debut at the top and pushing The War With Grandpa down to number 2.
With last weeks top film falling to number 2 there are a couple of catalogue movies in the lower end of the top 5, expected due to the lack of blockbuster movies getting released.
Further down the chart there are a few new movies, 2 Hearts is new at number 6, Love And Monsters makes its debut at number 9 and The Kid Detective one below at number 10.
Here is this weeks US box office Quickview.
- Number 1 - Honest Thief (1st Week)
- Highest debut - Honest Thief (@1)
- Longest run - Unhinged (10 weeks)
- Highest total gross (excluding re-releases) - Tenet ($50,600,000)
Here is the breakdown of this weeks US top 5 movies 16th - 18th October 2020.
Honest Thief
Liam Neeson returns to the revenge action genre with this movie directed by Mark Williams which makes its North American debut at the top with $4.2 Million (including previews), $3.7 Million Friday - Sunday.
This is not a bad debut in the current COVID-19 climate and is among the top debuts since cinemas started to reopened.
The War With Grandpa
Falling to number 2 after a single week at the top is the Tim Hill directed comedy starring Robert De Niro which this weekend taked $2.5 Million, falling 31% from last weekend.
This gives the movie a total US gross of $7.2 Millon after 10 days of release.
Tenet
Seven weeks on and Christopher Nolan's movie falls to number 3 with $1.6 Million which is a 24% drop from last weekend.
The movie has now taken $50 Million in the US the highest total grossing on the box office this week.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
First released in 1994 the Henry Selick directed movie, presented by Tim Burton of course, gets a re-release and takes a very impressive $1.3 million on its first weekend as it enters at number 4.
The movie has taken $76.4 Million since it was first released 26 years ago.
Hocus Pocus
Another Halloween favourite on its 3rd weekend of a re-release takes $756K, a 35% drop from last weekend.
The movie has now taken $3.8 Million on its re-run and $43.3 Million since first released in 1993.
Tenet spends a 7th weekend at the top of the UK box office, the longest for 20 years when Toy Story 2 and Gladiator both spent 7 weeks at the top in 2000.
This is unprecedented times but still it is note worthy that a movie can spend that much time at the top although it is with little competition, although After We Collided came close as did Cats & Dogs: Paws Unite! and this weeks top movie Saint Maud.
There are a number of new movies released this Friday and the bets are on that it could be the last weekend for Tenet, or just maybe the top new release this week might make the jump.
What is a worrying trend is the total top 15 this weekend is nearly a million pound down from last, meaning people are either still unsure of returning to cinemas, or they is nothing to draw them back!
Here is the this week UK box office Quickview (not including catalogue re-releases).
- Number 1 - Tenet (7 Weeks)
- Highest debut - Saint Maud (@2)
- Longest run - Onward (18 weeks)
- Highest total gross - Tenet (£16,563,616)
Here is a rundown of the top 5 movies 9th - 11th October 2020.
Tenet
Seven weeks in and Christopher Nolans 'saviour' is still at the top of the UK box office and this week takes £296K.
This gives the movie a total UK gross of £16.5 Million after 7 weeks of release and it is now the 5 highest grossing movie of 2020 or third highest movie released in 2020.
This weekends total of 53% down from last weekend which is one of the movies biggest drops week on week.
Saint Maud
Highest new movie of the weekend lands at number 2 in the shape of director Rose Glass's horror movie which despite landing at 2 takes £263.4K in a ever decreasing market.
The movie has been well reviews with even a hint of Oscar nods so we could see this have a long chart life and it still has a chance to hit the top.
Akira
The 1988 movie that kicked off the manga obsession in the West gets a re-release and re-enters the box office at number 3 with £201.1K.
