UK box office top 5 breakdown weekend 13th - 15th August 2021

Free Guy

Another movie delayed due to the pandemic is the latest comedy from maverick director Shawn Levy which makes its US box office debut at number 1 with a weekend gross of $28.4 Million.

The director pumped out a lot of movies in the early 2000 and 2010's but this is his first movie since 2014, but getting Ryan Reynolds to star has turned it into a hit.

Ryan Reynolds himself was in The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard from earlier this year which didn't quite hit the right note with audiences and ended its US run with nearly $40 Million.

Don't Breathe 2

Sequel to 2016's Don't Breathe the movie brings back Stephen Lang as the Blind Man and enters the US box office at number 2 with $10 Million.

Jungle Cruise

Disney's themepark ride based movie falls to number 3 this weekend with a gross of $9 Million, a 43% drop over last weekend.

The movie starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt has now taken $82.1 Million in the US over 3 weeks and is the 6th top movie for 2021.

Respect

Making its debut at number 4 is the bio-pic movie of Aretha Franklin starring what I'm sure will be an Oscar winning turn from Jennifer Hudson as the late singer, the movie takes $8.8 Million over the weekend.

The Suicide Squad

A hard fall from the top to number 5 for the comic book supervillain movie which takes $7.7 Million on its second weekend of release, a very large 71% drop over last weekend.

The movie has now taken $42.8 Million total over the 2 weeks of release.
