US weekend box office top 5 breakdown 19th - 21st August 2022

Highest new movie of the weekend

Making its debut at the top of the US box office this weekend is the animated sequel movie from the Dragon Ball Super series of animated films and a sequel to Dragon Ball Super: Broly

The movie takes a very good $20 Million in its debut which is twice that of the first movies $9 Million debut.

Dragon Ball Super: Broly had a 5 week box office run with a lower opening gross and look $30 MIllion so with little in the way of competition in the coming weeks this sequel could have a better run.

The new starring vehicle for superstar Idris Elba lands at number 2 this weekend with a gross of $11.5 Million.

Elba also featured in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 from earlier this year which took $190.9 Million and he laso had a cameo in Thor: Love and Thunder which took $332 Million.

The Brad Pitt starring movie falls to number 3 this weekend with $8 Million, a 40% drop over last weekend.

The movie has now taken $69 Million at the North American box office after 3 weeks of release.

The smash hit if the summer falls to number 4 this weekend, its 13th weekend of release with a gross of $5.9 Million, a tiny 16% drop over last weekend.

No one could have predicted 3 months ago just how big this movie would be, especially 36 years after the original Top Gun, but it has now grossed $683 Million at the North American box office, it is by far the biggest movie of 2022 and I dont see it being caught, even by Avatar: The Way of Water which is out mid December.

The movie is also the 6th top grossing movie of all time in America having just overtaken Avengers: Infinity War and despite the fact it is available on home video and streaming in a weeks time I would be willing to bet it could catch Black Panther as the 5th top movie of all time.

Finally at number 5 is the animated feature from the DC Universe which takes $5.6 Million on its 4th weekend of release.

The movie has a total US gross of $67.3 Million.

Nope retains the top spot on the UK box office this weekend while the animated movie from Japan Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is the highest debut at number 5.

Also new this weekend is Fisherman's Friends: One and All at number 6 with £656,293 falling well below the £1 Million+ debut of Fisherman's Friends from 2019.

New at number 10 is Orphan: First Kill which debuts with £434,601 and new at number 12 is Thiruchitrambalam with £132,109.

Worthy of a mention is the performance of the years biggest movie Top Gun Maverick which despite having been on the box office for 13 weeks climbs back up to number 7 this week, from 8 last, with a 22% increase over last weeks gross.

  • Number 1 - Nope (2nd Weekend)

UK weekend box office top 5 breakdown 19th - 21st August 2022

The Jordan Peele directed movie hangs onto the top spot on the UK box office for a second weekend as the movie takes £1.14 Million, a very reasonable 38% drop over its debut last weekend.

It is the only one entry on the box office this weekend to take over a million pound, it is tracking slightly below Jordan Peele's last movie, Us~2019 from 2019 which had taken £6 Million on its second weekend.

The movie has taken £4.5 Million to date.

The former number 1 movie starring Brad Pitt stays at number 2 this weekend with £837,799, a very slim 8% drop over last week on its third weekend of release.

This gives the movie a total UK gross of £6.8 Million after 3 weeks of release.

Remaining at number 3 this weekend is the animated feature from the DC Universe of movies from Warner Bros. which takes £811,276, a very slim 2% down on last week.

The movie has now taken £10.5 Million over its 4 weeks of release in the UK.

The animated sequel from the Despicable Me series of movies remains at number 4 this weekend with £753,073, which is more or less the same as last weekend take.

The Minions sequel has now taken an very respectable £40.7 Million over its 8 weeks of release, it is the 4th top movie of 2022 and the highest grossing animated feature of the year so far.

Highest new movie of the weekend

Highest new movie of the weekend lands at number 5 with the Japanese animated movie from the Dragon Ball Super series of movie and a sequel to 2019's Dragon Ball Super: Broly.

Landing at number 5 this weekend with £663,290 this presence of this movie means there are 3 animated movies in the top 5 in the UK this weekend.

This weekend, Friday 19th August 2022, there are 4 new films released in the UK and where available looking to hit the box office chart, but can they challenge last weekends top movie, Nope, for the number 1 spot?
