With cinemas really starting to show a return to normal we get the best opening weekend of the 'pandemic' era as Fast and Furious 9 shows that a year of delays hasn't hurt its box office potential.
The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard falls to number 3 this weekend and with such a big blockbuster hitting the top no studios released new movies in competition so F9 is the only new movie on the top 10.

As expected this beats all other movie in the last 18 months and sets a new standard for recent movies.
It also gives a real indication that things are starting to go back to normal and cinema audiences are starting to return.
The future looks good for the movie with just Black Widow still a while away which will challenge for the top spot.
The horror movie falls to number 2 this week after retaking the top spot last weekend with a gross of $6.2 Million, a 32% drop from last week.

Making its debut at the top of the US box office is the sequel movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson which debuts with a weekend gross of $16.7 Million since its Wednesday release.
The movie took just over $11 Million on the Friday to Sunday frame which would have also taken it to the top.
This is naturally lower than the original movie which was released in August of 2017 and took over $21 Million on its debut.
Falling from the top slot this weekend is the John Krasinski horror movie sequel which takes $9.4 Million this weekend, a very slim 19% down from last weekend.
The movie has been on the box office for 4 weeks now and is the top grossing movie of 2021 and the top grossing movie of the period during the pandemic with a total of $125.2 Million.
The Peter Rabbi sequel movie has perhaps been a bit of a flop in the US and this week sits at number 3 with a weekend gross of $6.1 Million, a 41% down from last weekend.
The movie is now at $20.3 Million after 2 weeks of release.
Staying at number 4 this weekend is the horror franchise movie which takes $5.1 Million, down 49% giving the movie a $53.6 Million total after 3 weeks of release.

Last weeks horror movie falls to number 2 this weekend and elsewhere on the top 5 is a new entry for animated movie Spirit Untamed which is at 4.
Also worth a note this week is the first movie to get over $100 Million since the pandemic started will happen by next weekend, and although Godzilla Vs. Kong has come very close it will be A Quiet Place Part II which will go part the milestone first.

The latest movie in the now long running Conjuring Universe hits the top of the US box office on its debut weekend with a gross of $6.2 Million.
As you would expect this is lower than the previous film in the main Conjuring series for which this is the third movie, those two both came in on their debut's with $40 Million.
The John Krasinski directed sequel movie falls to number 2 after showing a strong debut weekend which came in almost identical the 2018 original movie.
On its second weekend this movie takes $19.5 Million which is 60% down from last weekend, but similar to the original, and this gives the movie a fantastic $88.6 Million total.
Disney's 101 Dalmatians villain origins movie falls to number 3 this weekend with $11.2 Million, a 47% drop and not bad considering you watch it at home with a Disney+ subscription and an extra $30.
The movie has taken $43.6 Million over its 2 weekend release.
New at number 4 is the animated movie which is a sequel to the almost forgotten 2002 movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.
This movie takes a fairly reasonable $6.2 Million on its debut, reasonable because its has little publicity and the country is still keeping cinemas at limited capacity.
Disney's animated tale spends another week inside the top 5, at number 5 with $1.3 Million, a 35% drop from last weekend.
The movie has now taken $53.5 Million, and even more amazing this weekend is that its now available on Disney+ without paying the extra $30 for the privilege!
