US box office top 5 weekend breakdown 11th - 13th February 2022

Death On the Nile

A remake or a retelling? Director Kenneth Branagh brings his vision of Agatha Christie's fames novel, last seen at cinemas in 1978 when director John Guillermin brought his version to the big screen.

Starring a whole host of A-list stars this version tops the box office with $12.8 Million, a good strategic movie to launch during the Super Bowl weekend as the one after is usually hit by a blockbuster, this year that honor goes to Uncharted.

The movie was delayed by over a year due to the pandemic and in comparison to the directors previous Christie adaptation, Murder On the Orient Express this takes far less than that movies $28 Million debut.

Jackass Forever

Last weeks top movie falls to number 2 this week as the Jackass crew get a 65% drop over last weekend with $8 Million.

The movie has now taken $37.4 Million in North America and is the 4th top movie if 2022 so far.

Marry Me

Billed as a good old fashioned romantic comedy, this Jennifer Loper vehicle lands at number 3 this weekend with $8 Million which is pretty standard for a JLo romantic comedy.

Spider Man: No Way Home

The Marvel/Sony Universe movie continues to do well at the box office 9 weeks after its release and takes $7.1 Million over the weekend, a small 25% drop over last week.

Having taken $759 Million over its box office run the movie is still the top grosser or 2022, and will have likely overtaken Avatar as the third top movie on North America ever by the time you read this.

Blacklight

Liam Neeson continues his run of 'man on a mission with a gun' movies in this action movies which sees the action star uncover a government conspiracy and attempt to resolve it himself.

The movie lands at number 5 on the box office with $3.6 Million over the weekend.
