UK box office top 5 weekend breakdown 28th - 30th January 2022

Sing 2

The animated sequel to director Garth Jennings 2017 original Sing lands on this weeks box office at the top with a gross £6.8 Million.

This is lower than the first movies debut gross which was £10 Million, but that is most likely down to the pandemic as we are still seeing lower box office returns on the whole.

The movie has been a smash hit across the globe and in the UK the original was a smash hit, this will hang around for quite a while, it is already the second top movie of 2022 in the UK.

Belfast

Kenneth Branagh's movie never made it to the top spot in the UK but it is proving to be a big hit regardless as it spends another weekend at number 2.

The film takes £1.8 Million over the weekend pushing its total to £6 Million, and making it the 3rd top movie of 2022.

Spider Man: No Way Home

The movie spent 6 weeks at number 1 over the 2021 Christmas and new year period but this week leaps over Belfast to number 3 as it looses the number 1 crown to Sing 2.

On its 7th weekend the movie takes £1.7 Million, a 24% drop over last week, giving it a total UK gross of £90 Million.

It is the top movie of 2022 and is the 6th top movie of all time as it tries to beat the £93 Million taken by Avatar.

Scream

Falling to number 4 this weekend is the horror franchise movie which takes £788,123 on its 3rd weekend of release, a 37% drop over last weekend, giving the movie a total in the UK of £6.1 Million.

Nightmare Alley

Falling to 5 this weekend after its debut is the Guillermo del Toro directed movie which takes £330,830, a 40% drop from last week, giving the movie a total in the UK of £1,2 Million.

The movie could end up being one of the famed directors lowest grossing films in the UK.

This weekend at the global box office Spider-Man: No Way Home spent its 7th weekend at the top as its total global gross gets closer to the $2 Billion mark.

The highest new movie of the week was the sequel Chinese film The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure which landed at 9 with $3 Million on its debut.

Global box office top 5 breakdown weekend 28th - 30th January 2022

Spider Man: No Way Home

Seven weeks in now for the multiverse Spider-Man movie as it starts to challenge the global box office to be the top grossing movie of all time, an honour currently held by Avatar which has taken $2.8 Billion since its release in 2009.

The movie has still to be released in China which is currently still unset and its unknown if a release will happen.

This weekend the movie takes another $32.1 Million from 64 countries which pushes the movies total to $1.7 Million, so it still has a long way to go before it even goes over the $2 Billion mark, but it is achievable.

Its quite an achievement that the movie still only has a 23% drop over last weekend, meaning that people are most likely seeing the film multiple times.

The movie is naturally the top movie of 2022 and its gross is getting to the point where it may be hard to beat with $370.9 Million taken this year.

Sing 2

The animated sequel is proving to be a massive hit just like its prequel Sing from 2017 as the movie takes $22,2 Million in second place where it jumped back to this week, this is an amazing 17% increase over last weekend and the movie is released in 63 countries.

The movie is edging towards the $300 Million mark as this weeks its total gross hits $267.9 Million after 6 weeks of release.

This places the movie as the second top film of 2022 globally.

Scream
