North American top 5 box office breakdown 22nd - 24th October 2021
The movie got delayed by over a year, and after the failure of last years Tenet its wasn;t much of a suprise that Warner Bros. did, but this week the Denis Villeneuve vision of Frank Herbert classic sci-fi, impossible to film, book finally hits the box office.
The movie comes in with a weekend gross of just over $40 Million, potentially lower than expected as the movie is also available on HBO Max, altohugh as Halloween Kills has shown movies can do well as the box office even when on streaming the same day.
The film which stars Timothee Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson might have a short stay at the top but the response has been god enough that a sequel is almost guaranteed.
Hitting the top spot last weekend the movie was always destined for a single weekend at the top and this week takes $14.5 Million on its second weekend of release, a large 71% drop over last weekend, maybe dur to its availability on streaming?
The movie has now taken $73.1 Million at the American box office, and although the movie might get a boost next weekend as its Halloween we should see the movie sink down the box office quite rapidly now.
Bond movie number 25 has not quite hit the same stride in America as it has across the rest of the world and this week takes $11.8 Million, a 50% drop over last weekend.
The movie has been on the box office for 3 weeks now and has a US total gros of $120 Million making it the 7th top movie of 2021.
The superhero villain smash hit sequel falls to number 4 this weekend with $9.1 Million, a modest 45% drop over last weekend.
This gives the movie a total gross of $181.8 Million, very good for a sequel and its running almost parellel with its predecessor, the movie is now the 3rd top movie of 2021.
The new animated movie from directors Sarah Smith, who brought us Arthur Christmas and Jean-Philippe Vine makes its debut at number 5 this week with $7.3 Million.
Spending a third weekend at the top of the UK box office this weekend the 25th Bond movie No TIme To Die which is doing good numbers across the globe and has taken nearly $500 Million globally.
The highest new movie of the weekend is Venom: Let There Be Carnage which despite a strong challenge makes its debut at number 2 while the horror movie Halloween Kills is new at number 3.
To finish off this weeks top 5 there is Ron's Gone Wrong which comes in at number 5 while maybe a little disappointing the Ridley Scott directed The Last Duel misses the top 5 with an entry at 6 with £325,522.
It was a busy week for new releases with Honsla Rakh entering at 8 with £121,657 and Arracht entering at 10 with £35,150, finally there is a re-entry at number 14 for the seasonal favourite Hocus Pocus at number 14.

The long running Halloween series has been a long stay at the box office since 1979 and the latest movie this week makes its debut at number 3.
The movie is the middle part of a new trilogy directed by David Gordon Green and starring series mainstay Jamie Lee Curtis, its makes its debut with £1.6 Million.

The latest animated take from Twentieth Century studios (now owned by Disney) is a Locksmith Animations produced tale of a boy and his robot, which as the title suggest, goes wrong.
The movie stars the voices of Olivia Colman, Jack Dylan Grazer and Zach Galifianakis who voices the title character Ron.
The movie is directed by Sarah Smith who also directed Arthur Christmas and Jean-Philippe Vine and Octavio E. Rodriguez who are both making their feature film debuts.

A little late reporting on this weeks charts with the figures arriving the following weekend due to the Christmas break.
UK audiences were in the mood for the Galaxy Far Far Away over the Christmas week with Rogue One staying at the top, maybe a fitting tribute as we said goodbye to Princess Leah.
With the new coming in over the festive period that actress Carrie Fisher sadly passed away what better tribute to pay than keeping Rogue One: A Star Wars Story at number one with £5.6 million on its second weekend.
This brings the films total gross to £33.9 million, an excellent gross in normal circumstances but this is a star wars film and the film is falling far short of last years Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
Highest new entry of the week is Passengers which after bad reviews still manages to land at number 2 with £2.4 million.
Both stars Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt are involved with high grossing franchises so this is by no means a big opening for them and with the no so good reviews the film could sink quite quick.
Longest running film on the chart this week is Trolls which has been around for 10 weeks not and highest total grossing movie is Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them which has now grossed £47,469,530 after 6 weeks.
