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.

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.
