US weekend box office top 5 breakdown 14th - 16th October 2022

Highest new movie this weekend

As the Halloween season comes into full swing the horror movies hit the big screen, Smile~2022 has been a big hit at the box office and now we get the end(!) of the Halloween series.

Directed like the previous 2 by David Gordon Green and starring Jamie Lee Curtis the movie takes $41 Million on its debut weekend in North America.

This is the lowest of the series, but like the previous movie it can be seen on streaming as well as in movie theatres.

What seems to be the horror movie to see this season, the Parker Finn directed movie falls from the top after 2 weeks with a $12 Million third weekend, a relatively good 33% drop.

This gives the movie a total gross of $71 Million in North America after 3 weeks of release.

Falling to number 2 this weekend is the movie based on the children's book this takes $7.3 Million this weekend, a 35% drop.

The movie has now taken $22.7 Million after 2 weeks of release.

The Woman King

Proving to be a big hit for star Viola Davis the based on a true story movie takes $3.6 Million on its fifth weekend of release, a small 29% drop.

This gives the movie a total US gross of $59.7 Million after 5 weeks of release.

The massively criticised movie with a stella cast of Hollywood A listers falls to number 5 this weekend with $2.8 Million on its second weekend of release, a 55% drop over last weekend.

The movie has taken $11.9 Million over its 2 weeks of release and looks like it will drop out of the box office chart quite quickly.

Horror movie Smile~2022 remains at the top of the UK box office for a second weekend as The Woman King enters at number 2 as the top new movie of the week.

Meanwhile Amsterdam~2022 makes its box office debut at number 5 and The Lost King is new at 7 with £368,753.

At the lower end of the box office at number 12 is a new entry for Babe Bhangra Paunde Ne with £100,437 and one place below is Godfather with £93,212

UK box office QuickView

  • Number 1 - Smile~2022 (2nd Weekend)
  • Highest debut - Home Coming (@2)
  • Longest run - Minions: The Rise of Gru (15 weeks)
  • Highest total gross - Minions: The Rise of Gru (£45 Million)

UK weekend box office top 5 breakdown 7th - 9th October 2022

Making it 2 weeks at the top is the low budget horror movie which on its second weekend of release takes £1.7 Million, a very small 8% drop over last weekend.

If you remove the advanced screening from last weekend which added over £2 Million to the weekend total, the movie took £1.5 Million last weekend Friday - Monday which gives it a 17% increase weekend over weekend.

The movie has taken a total of £4.7 Million in the UK, but with Halloween on our doorsteps and a host of horror movies being released, including the high profile Halloween Ends this movie could sink fast.

The Woman King

Highest new movie this weekend

With a critically acclaimed performance from star Viola Davis the highest new movie of the weekend comes in at number 2 with a debut gross of £1.3 Million.

The movie is a strong contender for Oscar recognition at next years ceremony which could see it hang around for a while, and potentially have a second bite of the box office next February.

Falling to number 3 this weekend, but the Florence Pugh and Harry Styles starring movie is doing better in the UK than it is in other territories.

The movie take just over £1 Million on its third weekend of release, which is down 44% from last weekend which gives the movie a UK total of £8.2 Million.

With the star powere the film has it has clearly not performed to the standard hoped by the studio, but in the UK at least it has been a minor hit.

The George Clooney and Julia Roberts double header continues to pull in the crowds as its spends a third weekend inside the top 5 at number 4 with £861,172, a 36% drop over last weekend.

The movie now has a total UK gross of £6.7 Million after 3 weeks of release.

A high profile cast including Margot Robbie, Christian Bale and John David Washington has not stopped this movie from being critically panned and not making an impact on the UK box office as it makes its debut at number 4 this weekend.

A debut gross of £632,722 and an entry at number 5 will see it sing out of the box office fast having spent a single weekend at the top end of the box office.
