US box office top 5 breakdown weekend 5th - 7th November 2021

Eternals

Oscar winning director Chloe Zhao brings her vision of the MCU to the big screen as the next Marvel Studios movie makes its debut at the top of the box office with a weekend gross of $71 Million.

As mentioned this is the fourth top movie of the last 20 months or so, or since cinemas closed for the pandemic, and all the films above it are from the Marvel stable of movies.

The mixed reviews may damage its future box office progress, and there are a number of bog movies coming, one of which is stable mate Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Dune

The Denis Villeneuve directed movie falls to number 2 this weekend with a third weekend gross of $7.6 Million, a 51% drop over last weekend.

The movie has not taken a very good $83.9 Million over its 3 weeks of release and its starting to challenge Blade Runner 2049 as the directors top grossing movie in the US.

No Time To Die

The latest Bond movie falls to number 3 this weekend with $6.1 Million, a small 20% drop over last weekend.

The movie has now taken $143.1 Million in the US over its 5 weeks of release, its not a great total for a Bond movie in the US but it is the 6th top grossing movie of 2021.

It is struggling to keep up with the other Daniel Craig Bond movies and could end up his lowest grossing, it certainly wont do as well as wither Skyfall or Spectre which took $304 Million and $200 Million respectively.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage

The sequel movie from the Sony side of the MCU has proved to be a far bigger hit than expected and this weekend falls to number 4 with a weekend gross of $4.4 Million on its 6th weekend, a slim 22% down.

The movie has taken a excellent $197 Million over its box office run to date and is the second top movie of 2021 in North America.

Ron's Gone Wrong

Reversing its box office decline to animated feature goes back into the top 5, at 5, with a weekend gross of $3.6 Million on its 3rd weekend, a very slim 4% drop over last weekend.
