See How They Run~2022

See How They Run

Remaining at number 1 this weekend is the comedy murder mystery from director Tom George starring Saoirse Ronan which takes £984,779 on its second weekend of release, a small 15% drop from last weekend.

The movie remains at the top largely because there was no major new release on the box office this weekend, the movie has taken £2.8 Million over its 2 weeks of release.

Bullet Train

When there is nothing new at the cinema people go and see the old movies they missed, hence the Brad Pitt action/comedy jumps back up to number 2 from 8 on its 7th weekend of release with £325,252, a small 6% drop over last weekend.

The movie has taken £10.3 Million at the UK box office over its 7 weeks of release.

Minions: The Rise of Gru

Another big movie jumping back up the box office is the sequel movie to Minions which jumps back from 5 to 3 on its 12th weekend with £321,746, a 16% drop over last weekend.

The Despicable Me universe movie has now taken £45.1 Million in the UK over its 17 weeks and is the second top movie of 2022 in the UK.

Top Gun: Maverick

Making a magnificent movie back into the top 5 bouncing from 9th to 4th is the movie of the summer which takes £320,963 on its 17th weekend on the box office, and this weekend gross is an amazing 3% higher than last weekend.

The movie is the top film of 2022, and will end up that way by the end of the year as Avatar: The Way of Water wont have the steam to get past a billion in 2022 as its release is so late in the year.

The movie is also the 8th top movie of all time in the UK having jumped over Star Wars: The Last Jedi this week, I would say the £89 Million of Avengers: Endgame is out of its range but you simply never know with this film!

DC League of Super-Pets

The animated feature from the Warner Bros. DC Universe jumps one place to number 5 this weekend with £307,920, a 16% drop over last weekend.

the movie has taken £14.8 Million in the UK over its 8 weeks of release.
