US box office top 5 weekend breakdown 15th - 18th April 2022
The new animated feature from the same studio that produced Shrek makes its North American debut at the top of the box office with a weekend gross of $24 Million.
Despite the fact this is no where near the $42 Million of Shrek from 2001, which is about $70 Million adjusted for inflation, this is a good debut for a new IP from the studio and should spawn a sequel.

This is a 49% drop over last weekend giving the movie a 3 week gross of $145.8 Million and the 4th top movie of 2022.
Falling hard on its second weekend of release is the Fantastic Beasts third movie which falls from the top to number 3 with $14 Million, a big 67% drop on its second weekend.
The movie has taken a total of $67.1 Million in the US and with bad reviews and word of mouth we could see this disappear quite quick onto HBO Max, with the future of the series in question!
