$1.7 BillionIt's been a long time coming, 13 weeks in fact, but it looks like this weekend will finally see the second movie of 2022 break the $1 Billion milestone as Jurassic World Dominion goes past this once unreachable figure.
Top Gun Maverick has been enjoying all the glory this summer as the biggest movie and the only movie to pass the $1 Billion milestone, but it will be joined this weekend.
Pre Pandemic it was not unusual for a (mainly Disney/Marvel) movie to pass the milestone, but since 2020 only Spider-Man: No Way Home and Top Gun Maverick has managed to go over $1 Billion in global grosses.
This weekend the third, and final! Jurassic World movie will make it meaning that all the sequel trilogy movies have made over a Billion dollars globally making it a $4 Billion dollar sequel franchise and making the Jurassic series one of the most profitable in Cinema history.
The big question now is will this spur Universal on to make another set of Dinosaur movies?
Flying in at the top of the North American box office this weekend is the new movie in the MCU series of films Thor: Love and Thunder, which is also the only new movie of the week on the top 15!
Directed by the same director as Thor: Ragnarok Taika Waititi the fourth movie in the Thor franchise makes it debut at the top of the North American box office.
A debut gross of $144.1 Million gives it a better opening than Thor: Ragnarok but its not as good as the last two MCU movies Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
After making its debut at the top of the North American box office last weekend the sequel movie to Minions falls one place to number 2 with a weekend gross of $46 Million, a 57% drop on its second weekend.

The new movie from Pixar and Disney, Lightyear makes its debut at number 3 this weekend as Jurassic World Dominion and Top Gun Maverick prove too strong to remove from the top 2.

Second weekend at the top for the Jurassic World sequel movie as it takes £5.7 Million over the weekend, a large 53% drop over its debut last weekend.
This gives the movie a total UK gross of £21.7 Million after 10 days of release and gives it the 8th top movie of 2022.
So far this is the lowest grossing movie of the Jurassic World series, although it is still tracking to be one of the top 5 movies of 2022 in the UK.
Despite the fact the movie was delayed over a year, and the 36 years between the two movies no one could have imagined how successful this sequel to Top Gun was going to be.
This weekend the movie takes £4.2 Million on its fourth weekend, this is a small 24% over the previous week.
The movie has now taken an incredible £57.3 Million in the UK and is showing no signs of slowing down.
The sequel movie is currently the 25th top movie in the UK, comparing it to the top movie of all time in the UK Star Wars: The Force Awakens that movie has taken £108.4 Million on its fourth weekend, so this is tracking about half that, although the 2015 Star Wars sequel had a massive built in audience, this is slow burning and using word of mouth.
The movie is the top film of 2022 in the UK where is could stay until the end of the year.
Top new movie of the weekend is the first Pixar movie to get a cinema release since the CGI animated studio released Onward at the start of 2020 as the world locked down to COVID-19.
This Buzz Lightyear origins movie from the Toy Story series of films makes its debut to £3.7 Million, with mixed reviews clearly damaging its box office performance.
Onward from 2020 make a similar debut but that was a world that was starting to shutdown with the public getting nervous about spending time in rooms with lots of people.

The movie is now the fourth top grossing movie of 2022 in the US with just The Batman, Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness and Top Gun Maverick ahead of it.
The latest Pixar movie gets its debut in cinemas instead of the Disney+ streaming service which the last couple of movie have, and despite the mixed critical reviews the movie makes its debut at number 2 this weekend.
Taking $51 Million it is higher than the debut of the last Pixar movie to hit cinemas Onward, but that movie released in March 2020 when the country was on the verge of a national lockdown which effected its debut.
The movie has a tough road ahead considering the critical response and we could see this hit Disney+ sooner rather than later.
