Oscar winning director Chloe Zhao brings her vision of the MCU to the big screen as the next Marvel Studios movie makes its debut at the top of the box office with a weekend gross of $71 Million.
As mentioned this is the fourth top movie of the last 20 months or so, or since cinemas closed for the pandemic, and all the films above it are from the Marvel stable of movies.
The mixed reviews may damage its future box office progress, and there are a number of bog movies coming, one of which is stable mate Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The Denis Villeneuve directed movie falls to number 2 this weekend with a third weekend gross of $7.6 Million, a 51% drop over last weekend.

The latest Bond movie falls to number 3 this weekend with $6.1 Million, a small 20% drop over last weekend.
The movie has now taken $143.1 Million in the US over its 5 weeks of release, its not a great total for a Bond movie in the US but it is the 6th top grossing movie of 2021.
It is struggling to keep up with the other Daniel Craig Bond movies and could end up his lowest grossing, it certainly wont do as well as wither Skyfall or Spectre which took $304 Million and $200 Million respectively.
The sequel movie from the Sony side of the MCU has proved to be a far bigger hit than expected and this weekend falls to number 4 with a weekend gross of $4.4 Million on its 6th weekend, a slim 22% down.

UK box office top 5 breakdown weekend 9th - 11th July 2021
The movie may have had to wait over a year and been delayed a number of time because of the global pandemic but the MCU returns with force and a weekend gross of £6.88 Million, it is already the 6th top movie of 2021.
This beats the highest debut of a movie during the pandemic set by Fast & Furious 9 a couple of weeks ago which was £6 Million.
The movie is also available on Disney+ with a extra fee which will damage the movie potential, by how much we will have to wait and see.
The movie has had very positive review and good word of mouth will take it forward, and co-star Florence Pugh steals the show and sets herself up for future MCU movies.
Falling from the top of the box office to number 2 is the ninth movie in The Fast Saga which this week takes £1.09 Million, a large 59% drop from last weekend.

The movie has now taken £18.3 Million over its 8 weeks of release and is the top grossing movie in the UK in 2021, so far.
Director John Krasinski's silent horror movie falls to number 4 this weekend with £261,410, a better than expected 39% drop over last weekend, this gives the movie a total UK gross of £10.9 Million and 6 weeks and place of number 3 on the top 2021 movies list.

Warner Bros. have announced that the much anticipated Zack Snyder version of the DC universe Justice League will get a release on HBO Max in 2021.
It has become movie folk law that the version of Justice League that was released in 2017 was directed by Zack Snyder but due to personal reason he left the project before reshoots and editing and Joss Wehdon finished the movie.
When released the film was met with muted reviews, with some fans even hating the movie.
Since then there has been first rumours then evidence, then sort of confirmation that a version of the movie exists that was finished by Snyder himself.
A social media campaign has been going since to #releasethesnydercut appearing in the trending box on twitter on regular occations.
HBO Max is a new streaming service coming on May 27th, and here we are a week before the launch and Warner Bros. announces the almost legendary film will show on the service in 2021.
The news was given during an on-line participation by Snyder on Man Of Steel and it was received with massive appreciation from fans.
This is an interesting move and perhaps not a good one, with cinemas across the globe closed and wondering if they will ever recover this could have been a nice shot in the arm the industry may need.
Instead it will go to the platform which is in the short term going to damage the cinema industry, I hope we never get to a point when we don't have movie theatres to go to.
