US box office top 5 breakdown weekend 4th - 6th June 2021

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

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.

A Quiet Place Part II

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.

Cruella

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.

Spirit Untamed

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.

Raya and the Last Dragon

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!
