US weekend box office top 5 breakdown 21st - 23rd October 2022

Highest new movie this weekend

Starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson the latest superhero to get unleashed onto the big screen makes its debut at the top of the North American box office.

Taking a reasonable $67 Million on its debut this is fairly good for a DC/Warner Bros. movie but this set od superheros can't match that of their Marvel rivals.

The movie has a clear road for the next few weeks until Disney release the Black Panther sequel in early November.

In an unusual movie the new George Clooney and Julia Roberts movie gets a release weeks behind the rest of the world, and it goes up against Black Adam, a very strange situation!

The movie has been a surprise hit globally having taken close to $100 Million, and it makes its debut in North America with $16 Million, no where near the number 1 movie but not bad.

Despite the movie seeming like an Adam sandler and Drew Barrymore reject it seems to be wowing audience and could potentially fulfil the need for people looking for a non special effects laden end of the year.

The horror movie of the season falls to number 3 this weekend with $8.3 Million as it suffers a slight pre halloween slump, this is 34% down on last week.

The movie has taken $84 Million in total over its 4 weeks of release, it could see a climb next weekend over the Halloween period and $100 Million would not be unreachable.

The last of the last trilogy of Halloween movies falls to number 4 this weekend after making its debut at the top with a gross of $8 Million, a very large 80% drop.

Bear in mind the it got a simultaneous cinema and streaming release, the movie has taken $54.1 Million to date, this is lower than either of the other 2 movies.

It may get a boost next weekend and then it will slip away quietly until the next reboot of the franchise!

The children's book adaptation falls to number 5 this weekend with $4.2 Million a 43% drop on its 3th weekend of release giving it a total North American gross of $28 Million.

Remakes have been thick and fast this year at the box office and here we have the latest in the shape of The Magnificent Seven which crashed into the top on its debut weekend.

Taking $35 million over the Friday to Sunday frame the film far out grosses all if its rivals and knocks Sully off the top after 2 weeks.

Sully falls down to number 3 this week with $13 million for the weekend frame, this brings the film total gross to $92.3 million after 3 weekends of release.

Longest run on the US top ten, and also the top total grossing film is Suicide Squad which has been 8 weeks on the chart and has a US total gross of $318 million.
