Animated sequel Minions: The Rise of Gru goes back to the top of the global box office as the movie continues to do well in China and the late summer box office goes very kid orientated as parents find things to do before school starts.
A quiet weekend for new releases also means that the top 10 is fairly static and the top new movie enters at 12 as The Invitation starts its box office run with $8.4 Million.
Also new is After Ever Happy which takes $7.8 Million after topping the box office in many countries including Norway and South Africa, and Tad: The Lost Explorer and the Curse of the Mummy makes an appearance at 15 with $4.1 Million.
The sequel movie to Minions from the Despicable Me universe goes back to the top of the global box office on its 10th weekend of release with a global gross of $17.7 Million, 41% down from last weekend.
Despite the reduction in weekend over weekend takings the weekend take is bolstered by good performances in China and Italy where the movie is only on its second weekend.
The movie has done very well globally and still available in 85 countries the movie has taken $868.8 Million and is the 4th top movie of 2022.
The late summer hit movie goes back to number 3 this weekend, driven by a lack of new releases and the movie opening in a couple of new countries.
The movie takes $15 Million on its 4th weekend, a small 25% drop over last weekend, with a total gross of $175 Million to date.
The Chinese only release sequel movie jumps up the chart 1 place this weekend to number 3 with $12.9 Million, all from its single country of release.
This is a 35% drop over last weekend and gives the movie a total global gross of $43.6 Million after 2 weeks of release.
The smash hit cinese movie which is only released in 1 terretory jumps back to number 4 this weekend with £12.1 Million, a 31% drop giving it a 5 week total of $421.9 Million.
The movie is the 9th top grossing globally of 2022.
The Tom Cruise starring movie is by far the top movie of 2022 and the only one, so far, to gross over a billion dollars at the global box office.
This weekend on its 14th weekend of release it jumps back into the top 5, at 5, with a gross of $11,4 Million, a small 21% drop over last weekend.
The movie has a chance to go even higher next weekend, can it dare even go back to the top, a massive feat given the movie has taken $1,4 Million so far, or will Spider-Man: No Way Home get in its way with a re-release with 10 minutes extra footage?
It was a very slow weekend with no major new releases at the UK box office, and for the first time since the end of 2020 as cinemas started to close due to the COVID pandemic where no film in over the weekend took over a Million pound.
The top movie of the weekend, and the highest debut, is the event cinema Andre Rieues 2022 Maastricht Concert: Happy Days Are Here Again from the famous violinist which easily beast the new Idris Elba movie Beast~20221 which makes its debut at 2.
Further down the box office there is a new entry for The Invitation which has been on limited release and makes its debut at 12 with £261,791 and Official Competition which also on limited release is new at 15 with £101,916.
Highest new movie of the weekend
Violinist Andre Rieu brings his summer concert from Maastricht to cinemas once again which gives the popular musician the highest debut and number one movie of the weekend.
In what is a very quiet period for cinemas and new releases the event cinema concert takes £798,706 on its debut.
This is of course not the first time Rieu has hit the box office but it is the first time one of his cinema events has hit the top of the box office.
The last time a concert hit the top was during the pandemic in the shape of Michael Ball & Alfie Boe: Back Together which took £175,778 in October 2020.
This has done better that last years summer concert which took, Andre Rieus 2021 Summer Concert: Together Again, which took £420,056 exactly a year ago.
The new movie starring Idris Elba makes its debut at number 2 this weekend with a debut gross of £600,259.
This is perhaps a little on the disappointing side for a film starring such a big name, the last film Elba was in was Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and he has a cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness both of which are among the biggest movies of the year.
Elba stars in another movie released this weekend, Three Thousand Years of Longing, which has not gone down that well in the US so it will be interesting to see next week how well it does in the UK.
The animated feature from the DC Universe of movies stays at number 3 this weekend with a gross of £598,985, a 26% drop.
The movie has now taken £12.2 Million in the UK after 5 weekends of release.
The Brad Pitt starring movie falls to number 4 this weekend with £593,044, a 29% drop which gives the movie a total gros sof £8.1 Million after 4 weeks of release.
Falling from the top to this weeks number 5 the Jordan Peele horror movie takes £576,643, a 50% over its gross last weekend.
The movie has now taken £5.9 Million in the UK after 3 weeks of release.
