Also following the in the footsteps, this time of animated TV series The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers makes its way from TV show to movie as The Bobs Burgers Movie makes its debut at number 5 this weekend.
Top Gun released in 1986 was the breakout movie for Tom Cruise and catapulted the young actor into mega stardom, there have been many attempts to bring a sequel to the big screen and 36 years later we finally get the movie.
After amazing reviews the movie flies into the box office at number 1 on its debut weekend with a gross of £15 Million making it the highest grossing debut for the actor, and the 27th highest debut of all time.
Its unfair to compare the gross of the sequel with the original but Top Gun opened to around £4.2 Million in 1986 which adjusted for inflation is about £16 Million, it went on to gross around £8.5 Million in the UK which adjusted for inflation is about £31 Million.
The movie is already the 8th top film in 2022, it should end up in the top 5 if not the top 3 by year end.
After spending 3 weeks at the top the sequel movie to Doctor Strange falls to number 2 this weekend with a gross os £1.3 Million, a fairly big 54% drop over last weekend.
This gives the film a total UK gross of £37.7 Million after 4 weeks of release, it is currently the top grossing movie on the top 15.
For 2022 it is currently the second top grossing movie but it should take The Batman by next weekend to become the top movie of the year so far, unless Top Gun Maverick spoils the party, and with a very long holiday weekend coming who can tell!
The independent movie about the multiverse has done amazingly well considering it went up against Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness but the movie peaked at number 2 last weekend and drops to number 3 this week with £486,829, a 42% drop.
After 3 weeks on the box office the movie has taken £3 Million in the UK.
Dropping to number 4 this weekend is the British aristocracy movie which takes £350,593, a 54% drop, over its 5th weekend giving the movie a total UK gross of £13 Million.
The sequel has not done as well as its predecessor as that movie had taken £25 Million at this point in its run having spent 3 weeks at the top.
The movie is the 10th top movie of 2022.
The Belcher family make their big screen debut as they transfer to the big screen which takes £346,591 on its debut.
The TV series Bob's Burgers is not as big in the UK as it is in America where the movie made its debut at number 3, and compared to The Simpsons Movie which made its debut on 2007, that movie took an amazing £13.6 Million and debuted at the top, The Simpsons are an institution thought!
Liam Neeson takes over from Robert De Niro this weekend in Honest Thief which makes a very strong (in the current climate) debut at the top and pushing The War With Grandpa down to number 2.
With last weeks top film falling to number 2 there are a couple of catalogue movies in the lower end of the top 5, expected due to the lack of blockbuster movies getting released.
Further down the chart there are a few new movies, 2 Hearts is new at number 6, Love And Monsters makes its debut at number 9 and The Kid Detective one below at number 10.
Here is this weeks US box office Quickview.

Liam Neeson returns to the revenge action genre with this movie directed by Mark Williams which makes its North American debut at the top with $4.2 Million (including previews), $3.7 Million Friday - Sunday.
This is not a bad debut in the current COVID-19 climate and is among the top debuts since cinemas started to reopened.

The movie has now taken $50 Million in the US the highest total grossing on the box office this week.

Being held in Anaheim California August 23rd - 25th the Ultimate Disney Fan Event is held by the company on a bi-annual basis and gives the fans news on the latest movies, TV shows and theme parks.
What can we expect for this years event? With a new Star Wars movie around the corner, the end of the phase 3 Marvel Cinematic Universe, a new Frozen movie on the horizons and an area of the Disney theme parks dedicated to Star Wars!
There may not be a new trailer coming out of the D23 expo for Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker but we can expect a behind the scenes reel, as we did with the last 2 films, with new footage and most likely, and just maybe we'll get an official movie poster.
There may also be some news on the new trilogy of films that are set for release every other year from December 2023.
There has been a feeling that we have had too much Star Wars in recent years so after this years movie expect the whole franchise to go quiet until the promotion starts for he 2023 movie.
Disney are releasing their own streaming service this year, Disney+, and the Star Wars Universe ig going to feed into this a lot over the years between The Rise Of Skywalker and the next cinematic adventure including the much anticipated The Mandalorian for which there will likely be a trailer.
Lets not also forget that other Lucasfilms franchise, Indianan Jones. The next movie has already been delayed but is going ahead with Harrison Ford, little is known but with a whole area dedicated to the film studio there could well be some mention of the original tomb raider.
The MCU phase 3 went out with a massive bang and Avengers: Engame became the top grossing movie of all time and Spider-Man: Far from home grossed over a Billion at the box office, so the phase 4 has a lot to live up to.
The first spanner in the works is the breakdown of the Disney and Sony (who own Spider-Man) partnership so don't expect to hear anything from the Spidey franchise, but with the acquisition of Fox by Disney every other Marvel character can now be used by Disney so expect to see the likes of X-Men and Fantastic 4 cropping up, not that we'll hear anything at D23.
There should be more news on the confirmed project like Shang-Chi, Black Widow and Thor: Love And Thunder, maybe there will even be a trailer for the Scarlett Johansson starring movie which is the first of these movie out the door next March.
Again the Disney+ streaming service, due for launch this year, will be a major part of the MCU going forward with the prospect of TV series adding to the Universe as well as movies.
One of the properties that Disney aquired when it bought Fox was James Camerons former highest grossing movie Avatar and all planed sequels.
They have been a long time coming but with the opening of the Pandora area (the planet in the movie) in Animal Kingdom in Orlando Disney are keen to get the sequels made and have announced they will be released bi-yearly fron 2022.
There will be an Avatar area as the expo and the possibility of more information of the sequels which are being made back to back.
Lets not forget the animated Disney Movies! On the horizon is Frozen II, which is kind of a big deal, the original film is still the true highest grossing animated movie of all time (not counting the new The Lion King movie) and became a cultural phenomenon back in 2013.
The trailers have promised much and we could see more footage from the film which is set for release at the end of 2019.
It has been announced that there will be a Moana area coming to Epcot in the revamp of the Walt Disney World park, this could be a sign that there is a sequel to the 2016 animated movie.
Pixar will also be showing off its future movies Onwards and Soul at a presentation during the weekend.
Little has beed seen from these movies from the digital animated arm of the company except for a trailer for Onwards, so fans are excited to see more and this is the perfect platform.
There is of course much more that will come out of the Expo so come back regularly to get all the latest news.
There became a bit of a battle for the top of the box office this week as the much loved children's classic The BFG went up agains the much loved Star Trek franchise.
In the end Roald Dahl and Steven Spielberg won with The BFG as it takes the number 1 spot on its debut weekend of release with a very respectable £5.3 million
The film was considered a flop in the US but the stories are considered classics in the UK and parents have passed down books from generation to generation and this is reflected in the box office.
Almost as much loved, and celebrating 50 years this year is Star Trek, and to celebrate we have Star Trek Beyond which this week makes its debut at 2.
A weekend take of £4.7 million wasn't enough to see it debut at the top, and even more worrying is this is half as much as Star Trek Into Darkness, and lower than the original reboot.
The positive reviews may help the path ahead but this is definitely a diminishing series and with a fourth film already planned who knows what the future holds.
Also new this week are André Rieu's 2016 Maastricht Concert which had a couple of shows this last weekend is new at 3.
