Topping the US box office on its debut weekend Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom takes $27 Million, down a substantial amount from the $72.5 Million Aquaman took in 2018.

There is little surprise to this as Warner Bros. has not thrown its weight behind the movie and it marks the "end" of the Snyder Universe of DC movies with James Gunn about to take over as producer/director going forward.

Wonka drops to number 2 this weekend after a single weekend at the top, the movie does not seem to be doing as well in North America as it is across the rest of the world despite the massive popularity of its main star Timothee Chalamet.

Still a total gross of $75 Million isn't too bad, and this Christmas market will have likely pulled in some audiences for the coming week.

Also new on the top 5 this week is animated take Migration at 3, Romantic comedy Anyone But You at 4 and Indian hit movie Salaar at 5.
