It's been a long time coming, 13 weeks in fact, but it looks like this weekend will finally see the second movie of 2022 break the $1 Billion milestone as Jurassic World Dominion goes past this once unreachable figure.
Top Gun Maverick has been enjoying all the glory this summer as the biggest movie and the only movie to pass the $1 Billion milestone, but it will be joined this weekend.
Pre Pandemic it was not unusual for a (mainly Disney/Marvel) movie to pass the milestone, but since 2020 only Spider-Man: No Way Home and Top Gun Maverick has managed to go over $1 Billion in global grosses.
This weekend the third, and final! Jurassic World movie will make it meaning that all the sequel trilogy movies have made over a Billion dollars globally making it a $4 Billion dollar sequel franchise and making the Jurassic series one of the most profitable in Cinema history.
The big question now is will this spur Universal on to make another set of Dinosaur movies?
Flying in at the top of the North American box office this weekend is the new movie in the MCU series of films Thor: Love and Thunder, which is also the only new movie of the week on the top 15!
Directed by the same director as Thor: Ragnarok Taika Waititi the fourth movie in the Thor franchise makes it debut at the top of the North American box office.
A debut gross of $144.1 Million gives it a better opening than Thor: Ragnarok but its not as good as the last two MCU movies Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
After making its debut at the top of the North American box office last weekend the sequel movie to Minions falls one place to number 2 with a weekend gross of $46 Million, a 57% drop on its second weekend.
The movie now has a total gross of $210.6 Million after 2 weekend and is the 5th top movie of 2022.
Still inside the top 3 after 7 weeks of release the Tom Cruise starring sequel to Top Gun drops to number 2 this weekend with $15.5 Million, a 40% drop.
The movie has now taken $597 Million in the US, it will pass $600 Million by next weekend and it is the top movie of 2022 by quite a margin.
It is also on the verge of braking into the top 10 movie of all time in North America as it currently sits at number 12.
The Elvis Presley bio-pic from director Baz Luhrmann falls to number 4 this weeeknd with $11 Million on its 3rd weekend, a 30% drop over last weekend.
The movie has not taken a total gross of $91.3 Million at the North American box office.
As the Dino franchise movie starts to end its run it falls to number 5 this weekend with $8.5 Million, a 46% drop over last weekend, which gives the movie a total US gross of $350 Million.
The movie is currently the 4th top movie of 2022, but it will end up as the lowest grossing of the Jurassic World trilogy of movies behind both Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
