US weekend box office top 5 breakdown 17th - 19th June 2022

Spending a second weekend at the top of the US box office the Jurassic World sequel movie wich takes $58.6 Million, a large 59% drop over its debut last weekend.

This pushes the movies total gross afte 2 weekends of release to $249.7 Million on its way to quarter of a billion dollars.

The movie is now the fourth top grossing movie of 2022 in the US with just The Batman, Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness and Top Gun Maverick ahead of it.

The latest Pixar movie gets its debut in cinemas instead of the Disney+ streaming service which the last couple of movie have, and despite the mixed critical reviews the movie makes its debut at number 2 this weekend.

Taking $51 Million it is higher than the debut of the last Pixar movie to hit cinemas Onward, but that movie released in March 2020 when the country was on the verge of a national lockdown which effected its debut.

The movie has a tough road ahead considering the critical response and we could see this hit Disney+ sooner rather than later.

With a small 12% drop from last weekend the Tom Cruise starring sequel movie takes $44 Million on its 4th weekend on the box office.

This pushes the movies total US gross to an amazing $466 Million making the top grossing movie of 2022, and with the half billion mark achievable by next weekend this could remain the top movie of the year.

Interesting fact - the top 3 movies this week make the lion share of this weeks box office in the US.

The MCU sequel movie takes $4.2 Million over its 7th weekend which, a small 14% drop.

This gives the movie a total North American gross of $405 Million and it is the second top grossing movie of 2022.

The animated movie TV spin off falls to number 5 this weekend with $1.1 Million, a large 53% drop, giving the movie a US total of $29.7 Million after 4 weeks of release.
