Highest New Movie of the Weekend
Making its debut at the top of the UK box office this weekend is a movie inspired by the characters in the DC Universe of Super-heroes and their Super-Pets!
The movie stars the voise talents of Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Heart and it takes £2.6 Million on its debut weekend.
Falling to number 2 this weekend after taking the top spot for a second time is the Minions sequel movie which on its 5th weekend of release takes £1.9 Million, a 35% drop.
The movie has now taken a total of £33.5 Million in the UK which is just behind the original movie which had taken £37 Million in 2015.
The movie is also the 6th biggest film of 2022 to date.
The latest in the MCU movies falls to number 3 this weekend with £1,9 Million, a 37% drop over last weekend.
The fourth in the Thor series has now taken £30 Million at the UK box office after 4 weeks of release, it is currently ahead of 2017's Thor: Ragnarok which had taken £28 Million at this stage in its run.
The movie is currently the 7th top movie of 2022.
The Elvis Presley bio-pic from director Baz Luhrmann remains at number 4 this weekend with £1.1 Million on its 6th weekend, a very slim 11% drop over last week.
This gives the movie a total UK gross of £20.8 Million making it the directors top grossing movie in the UK.
The incredible run of the Top Gun sequel has been unprecedented for a movie that was release over 30 years after the original, and it has found a new generation of fans and the studio must be looking at doing another movie, perhaps without Tom Cruise!
The movie has this weekend taken £981,129, a very slim 10% drop over last weekend which takes the movies total in the UK to £76 Million.
It is the top grossing movie of 2022, where it might remain if Avatar: Way of the Water doesn't spoil the party in December.
The movie is also now the 9th top grossing movie ever in the UK having taken over the 2019 version of The LIon King with an eye to go even higher on the list.
Comparing it to the original movie from 1986 is hard considering the gap in releases, but if adjust for inflation the £1.88 average price of a ticket in 1986 then the original would have taken about £49 Million at this stage in its run.
