UK box office top 5 weekend breakdown 15th - 18th April 2022
After a weekend full of new releases the Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum starring action comedy makes its UK box office debut at the top.
The movie takes £2.7 Million on its UK debut, this higher than Tatums hit movie Dog from earlier this year but half that of Bullocks last cinema film Ocean's 8 from 2018.
The movie has been a hit across the globe with the UK one of the last countries to get the movie, but with a number of high profile movies coming in the next few weeks this could be a short stay for the movie.
It was a tight margin between this and The Lost City~2022 at number 1 but the third Fantastic Beasts movie fell just short of a second weekend at the top.
With a gross of £2.6 Million, 55% down on its debut last weekend, and despite not doing that bad it is well short of the previous two movies Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and the series has simply not had the impact of the Harry Potter series.
The movie is the 7th top grosser of 2022 and there is every possibility it could return to top next weekend.
THe video game star falls to number 3 this weekend with £2 Million, a 29% drop over last weekend giving the blue hedgehog a total UK gross of £16 Million after 3 weeks and the 5th top movie of 2022.
Highly praised by critics the Nordic action movie directed by Robert Eggers and starring Alexander Skarsgard and Nicole Kidman lands at number 4 this weekend.
The movie takes £897,737 on its debut weekend.
Finally on the top 5 is another new entry with the Colin Firth starring movie which is at 5 with a debut gross of £895,008, a small margin separated this and The Northman!
The much delayed new Bond movie makes its debut at the top of the US box office this weekend as No Time To Die knocks off the Venom movie sequel after a week at the top.
The only other new movie on this weeks top 10 is Lamb which makes its debut at number 7 with just over $1 Million in weekend grosses.

US box office top weekend breakdown 8th - 10th October 2021
Bond movie number 25 makes its debut at the top of the US box office this weekend with a weekend gross of $56 Million.
This is lower than the last three Bond movies, SPECTRE, Skyfall and Quantum of Solace but it is higher than Daniel Craig's first Bond outing Casino Royale.
This is unsurprising as the movie has been delayed many times, but it has had good word of mouth and favourable reviews, but people are still nervous going back to the cinema, but this movie, and a few big future releases, could change that.
The Venom sequel movie falls to number 2 on its second weekend of release with $32 Million, a quite large 64% drop over last weekend, which was to be expected.
The movie has now make a total of $141.6 Million so far in the US and it is quite incredibly the 5th top grossing movie of 2021 so far having slipped in between Free Guy and A Quiet Place Part II.
The animated sequel falls to number 2 this weekend with $10 Million taken over the weekend, a 42% drop over its debut last weekend.
this gives the movie a total US gross of $31.1 Million over its 2 weeks of release, the movie could see a boost in a couple of weeks as Halloween hits but then we will see it sink out of the box office chart.
The smash hit Marvel movie falls to number 4 this weekend with a weekend gross of $4.2 Million, a slim 31% drop condering its the movies 6th weekend.
THe movie has now taken an incredible $212.4 Million over its 6 week run and is the top grossing movie, so far, of 2021.
The Sopranos prequel movie drops to number 5 this weekend with $1.45 Million, a large 69% drop, giving the movie a 2 weekend total gross of $7.4 Million.
Its taken 35 years to produce a sequel to one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time and Blade Runner 2049 does what its predecessor couldn't and tops the box office.
Its hard to draw comparisons when there is such a gap between two parts but Blade Runner was considered a flop on release and only later was considered a classic, although not setting the box office alight as expected the sequel does manage a £6 million debut.
The reviews and the anticipation should have perhaps demanded a £10 million plus opening, but perhaps the long running time and stylised cinematography put people off.
Falling to number 2 after 2 weeks on top is Kingsman The Golden Circle which still manages a very respectable £2.1 million.
This brings the films total to date to £19.4 million, this means the film has in 3 weeks outgrossed the originals 9 week gross of £16 million.
Also new this week is The Mountain Between Us at number 4 with £0.7 million and the event feature Nora from the Met Opera (Norma Met Opera 2017) at number 7.
For the first time in 8 weeks there is a new highest total grossing movie, although it is Despicable Me 3 which is also the longest running film with 15 weeks, it has grossed £47 million.
