The audience in North America was primarily female it it has got mixed reviews across the board but in the current theatrical climate a $19.3 Million debut is not too bad.

In a very quiet weekend for the box office through lack of high profile releases the movie takes $10 Million on its debut.

This gives the movie a total gross in North America of $705.6 Million which means it is, and most likely will be, the top movie of 2022, the movie has also made its way into the top 5 movies of all time in America as its sits at number 5.
It has a long way to go to get any higher with Avatar sitting at number 4 with $760.5 Million, this seems out of reach for a movie which is coming to the end of its box office life, but I wouldn't write off this movie to do anything just yet!

With no high profile new releases now in the last couple of weeks, and the end of the school summer holidays, and the bargain price of £3 per ticket on Saturday this is perhaps not too much of a surprise.
The movie has now taken £44 Million in the UK and is the second top movie of 2022, it is also the 61st top movie of all time.
Interestingly the movie is behind the first Minions movie but it has been consistently about £1 Million behind.

Getting a re-release to celebrate National Cinema Day is the 2021 Spider-Man release from Marvel and Sony with a little help Disney.
The movie takes a quite incredible £469,309 on its return to the box office, incredible because the movie is the 4th biggest movie of all time in the UK and it was only in cinemas earlier this year, and although there is 20 minites extra footage it does not change the story and makes it a 3 hour movie!
Still the movie has now spent 16 weeks on the chart and taken an amazing £96.9 Million, it is also the 8th top movie of 2022.
