North American box office top 5 breakdown weekend 30th July - 1st August 2021

Jungle Cruise

Disney release their latest movie based on a ride which hits the top of the North American box office with $34.2 Million on its debut.

As the world is still trying to cope with the global pandemic this is never going to hit the same heights at the other movies based on a ride

Pirates of the Caribbean but its a good start for the movie and its already the 16th top movie of 2021.

The Green Knight

Starring Dev Patel and directed by David Lowery this historical drama about the nephew of King Arthur makes a surprise new entry at number 2 this week.

The movie takes a very respectable, especially in the current box office climate $6.7 Million debut, largely pushed by very good critical reviews.

Old

Falling to number 3 from its debut position at the top of the box office is the M. Night Shyamalan directed movie which takes $6.7 Million on its second weekend, a quite large 60% drop.

This takes the movie total US gross to $30.6 Million after its 2 weeks on the chart.

In truth it had a tough fight with the new number 2 movie The Green Knight and only missed out on the number 2 position by a few thousand dollars.

Black Widow

The Marvel movie falls to number 4 this weekend with $6.4 Million, a decent 45% drop, giving the movie a $167 Million total after 4 weeks.

Stillwater

Finally in the top 5 a new entry for Matt Damon as his new movies makes its debut at 5 with $5.12 Million.
