Us box office top 5 breakdown weekend 18th - 20th June 2021

The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard

The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard

Making its debut at the top of the US box office is the sequel movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson which debuts with a weekend gross of $16.7 Million since its Wednesday release.

The movie took just over $11 Million on the Friday to Sunday frame which would have also taken it to the top.

This is naturally lower than the original movie which was released in August of 2017 and took over $21 Million on its debut.

A Quiet Place Part II

Falling from the top slot this weekend is the John Krasinski horror movie sequel which takes $9.4 Million this weekend, a very slim 19% down from last weekend.

The movie has been on the box office for 4 weeks now and is the top grossing movie of 2021 and the top grossing movie of the period during the pandemic with a total of $125.2 Million.

Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway

The Peter Rabbi sequel movie has perhaps been a bit of a flop in the US and this week sits at number 3 with a weekend gross of $6.1 Million, a 41% down from last weekend.

The movie is now at $20.3 Million after 2 weeks of release.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

Staying at number 4 this weekend is the horror franchise movie which takes $5.1 Million, down 49% giving the movie a $53.6 Million total after 3 weeks of release.

Cruella

Finally on the top 5 is Disney's movie about Cruella De'vil which stays at 5 with $5.1 Million, only 24% down from last weekend, giving it a $64.7 Million total after 4 weeks.
