US box office top 5 weekend breakdown 4th - 6th February 2022
12 years after the last cinematic outing for the Jackass crew director Jeff Tremaine and long time star Johnny Knoxville return in another round of stupid pranks and 'hilarious' extreme stunts to try and shock audiences.
The movie opens at the top of the US box office with $23.1 Million, half that of 2010's Jackass 3D but we are still in the middle of a pandemic.
The movie put an end run of Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the movie has instantly become the 10th top movie of 2022.
Landing at number 2 this weekend is the mega budget event movie directed by Roland Emmerich who is no stranger to this kind of movie.
With a debut of $9.8 Million the studio will be a little disappointed, and with unfavourable reviews from critics and audiences this movie could have a short box office shelf life.
There is still no slowing down for the web slinger as the movie notches up an 8th weekend on the top 3 with $9.5 Million, a very low 14% drop over last weekend.
The movie actually was only just beaten by Moonfall into the runner up spot which shows the strength the movie still has and is getting repeated viewings from fans.
The movie is the top film of 2022 with $21.9 Million taken this year, and it is still the 4th top movie ever in the US with $735.8 Million as it closes in on Avatar.
Most likely having its last weekend on the top 5, the fifth film in the Scream series falls to number 4 with $4.7 Million, a 34% drop over last weekend.
This gives the movie a total gross of $68.9 Million over 4 weeks making it the 4th top movie of 2022.
A sequel to this movie, the 6th in the series, has just been green lit so the end has not happend yet for the team who seem to always put themselves in harms way!
Falling to number 5 this week is the animated sequel which takes $4.2 Million over the weekend, a very low 10% drop from last week, giving the movie a fantastic $139.6 Million over its 7 week release, and its the 2nd top movie of 2022.
Last weekend saw Black Widow at the top of the UK box office for a second weekend, there are 4 new releases this weekend so can any of those in cinemas do enough to top the box office chart this weekend?
Check back on Monday to see what new movies made it onto the Weekend Box Office Chart.
Released in the UK this weekend, Friday, 2nd July 2021, there are 6 new releases looking to take your attention and where available could hit your local cinema and try and replace Fast & Furious 9 from the top of the UK box office.

Last weekend saw The Secret Garden climb to the top of the UK box office, but in England cinemas are still closed so again the box office is looking at the few cinemas open in Wales and Scotland.
There are 3 movies this week hitting either cinemas or going direct to streaming.

Due to restriction enforcement in England set by the Government due to large increases in COVID-19 cases cinemas in the UK will be closing their doors for the second time in 2020 from November 5th.
The restrictions, at the moment, are to be set in place until 2nd December, but there is every possibility that when it comes to public places like shops, bars and yes cinemas, it will take a bit longer to open up.
This means that there will likely be no box office to report in the coming weeks, and the reopening which could take a couple of weeks, will be slow with very few blockbuster film released.
Which films is this going to effect? It has been mainly small indie film which have enjoyed the exposure over the last couple of months, and in the coming week there were no sizeable film scheduled.
Ryan Reynolds next movie Free Guy is coming on 11th December, things may have re-opened by a week by then but this could be sent to 2021, also there is every possibility that it could see a digital release
On the 18th of December there is Death On The Nile from Kenneth Branagh, which may see a schedule change and just as easily it could go direct to streaming.
Coming 2 America has been sold to Amazon Prime and will make its debut on that platform around the same time frame.
Wonder Woman 1984 is the next big blockbuster due for release and there is every possibility that this will be pushed to spring 2021 , altohugh if this happens then there will be another round of schedule changes as we have Raya And The Last Dragon, Morbius and the much delayed No Time To Die all set around to debut around Spring.
Its yet another blow for the cinema industry and with many major companies already struggling how many closures can cinemas handle before going down.
Streaming is not the way most people want to see big blockbusters, but we also want to feel safe when we go out to enjoy a new movie, time will tell but lets hope this closure controls the virus and cinemas make the necessary safety measures so we can enjoy what could be a blockbuster packed 2021.
Disappointed to confirm that @Cinema-UK members in England - who like cinemas across the UK have done so much to deliver a safe and enjoyable big screen experience - will now be required to close from Thursday 5 November to Wednesday 2 December. #LoveCinema
