Here is a breakdown of the top 5 movies in the US 13th - 15th November 2020.

Freaky

Starring Kathryn Newton and Vince Vaughn this 'playing for laughs' body swap serial killer movie lands at the top of the US box office with $3.71 Million.

During this time of COVID-19 this seems to be a fairly standard opening gross with the last few number one debuts, Let Him Go, Come Play and Honest Thief, all taking similar figures.

Let Him Go

Let Him Go

The Dianne Lane and Kevin Coster starring movie falls from the top to number 2 this weekend with $1.8 Million, a 55% drop from its debut last weekend.

This puts the Thomas Bezucha directed movies total gross at $6.88 Million after 2 weeks of release.

The War With Grandpa

Perhaps this Tim Hill directed movie can be seen as the surprise hit of late 2020 as the movie stays firm at number 3 with $1.32 Million, only a 12% drop from last weekend.

The Robert De Niro movie has now spent 6 weeks on the box office and has grossed $15.22 Million.

Come Play

The Jacob Chase directed horror movie is slipping down the chart and this week is at 4 with $1.1 Million, 39% down from last weekend.

Three weeks in and the movie has taken $7.31 Million, and perhaps its last week on the top 5.

Honest Thief

Still hanging on to its top 5 position, at 5, the Liam Neeson starring thriller takes $800,000 this weekend down 30% from last weekend, the movies new total gross is $12.38 Million after 5 weeks.
