$0 In a very quiet week for the box office with no major new releases, director Jessica M. Thompson hits the top of the North American charts with The Invitation on its debut weekend.
Veteran director George Miller disappoints with his latest movie Three Thousand Years of Longing starring Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba which comes in at number 7 with $2.8 Million and John Boyega stars in the new entry at 15, Breaking which takes just over $1 Million.
A re-release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story also makes an re-entry at 13 with $1.1 Million.
Highest new movie of the weekend
With no major new releases out again this weekend halloween seems to have started early as this new horror movie from director Jessica M. Thompson hits the top spot on its debut.
The movie takes $7 Million on its debut weekend, and with little in the way of new movies in the coming weeks, and the halloween season fast approaching this could be a mainstay into October.
Taking advantage of the lack of but new movies the Brad Pitt starring vehicle jumps back up to number 2 this weekend with $5.6 Million, a 30% drop from last weekend.
This gives the train movie a total US gross of $78.2 Million over its 4 weeks of release.
The movie which stars Idris Elba punching a killer lion falls to 3 this weekend with $4.9 Million, a large 58% drop on its second weekend of release.
The movie has now taken $20 Million at the North American box office, this should have been a bigger hit for the star who is a box office pull these days but the marketing for the movie has been poor and it looks like it will sink onto home video quickly.
Another film taking advantage of the lack of big new movie release, the biggest movie of the summer stays inside the top 5 for a 14th weekend with a gross of $4.7 Million at number 4, a small 20% drop from last weekend.
Whats even more impressive is that the movie is released onto digital home video this week, which does not seem to have effect the box office pull of the movie.
It is by far the top movie of the year with $691 Million, a place it will remain at as the year closes, it is also now the 6th top movie of all time in the US and will close in on Black Panther in the coming days to enter the top 5 of all time.
Taking a massive dive from its debut position as the top last weekend is the Japanese animated movie which falls to number 5 this weekend with $4.5 Million, a 77% drop over last weekend which gives it a total US gross of $30.7 Million after 2 weeks.
The new action comedy movie starring Brad Pitt Bullet Train makes its debut at the top of the North American box office.
Also new this weekend is Easter Sunday which makes its debut at number 8 with $5.4 Million and on limited release Bodies Bodies Bodies is new at number 15 with $226,653, from 2 cinemas.
Highest new movie of the weekend
Starring Brad Pitt and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, based in Japan on the famous Bullet Train this action comedy enters the North American box office at number 1.
A debut gross of $30 Million makes it a reasonable hit, but the lack of any competition in the marketplace has helped it have a good debut.
The director is David Leitch who last movie was Fast & Furious Presents Hobbs and Shaw which grossed $60 Million in its debut.
After making its debut at the top of the North American box office last weekend the animated pet movie falls to number 2 this weekend.
A gross of $11 Million is 52% lower than last weekend and takes the movies total gross to $44.9 Million after 2 weeks.
Jordan Peele's latest movie falls to number 3 this weekend with a gross of $8.5 Million on its 3rd weekend of release, a 54% drop over last weekend.
This gives the movie a total US gross of $97.6 Million
Number 4 in the Thor series of movies falls to number 4 this weekend with $7.7 Million.
Now on its 5th weekend of release the movie has taken $316.1 Million and is the 6th top movie in North America of 2022.
Finally on the top 5 is the animated sequel to Minions which takes $7.1 Million on its 6th weekend of release, a 35% drop.
This gives the movie a total in the US of $334.5 Million and it is the 5th top movie of 2022.
This weekend looked like it would be the week that Tenet was removed from the top of the UK box offie but despite the many new releases it hung on for an 8th weekend.
The event movie concert feature Micheal Ball & Alfie Boe: Back Together is the top new movie of the week coming in impressively at number 2 while further down the box office the only other new movie is the documentary feature I Am Greta at number 8.
Worthy of mention this weekend is Hocus Pocus which was re-released last weekend and hit number 14 and this week increases by 51% and bounces to number 7.
Its also worthy of a mention that for the first time since 21st August 2020 the top 15 movies in the UK did not gross over a million combined, the total is £986K, and thats with a lot of new films hitting the market.
Here is the UK box office Quickview.

The movie has now taken £16.8 Million at the UK box office which is the directors 6th highest grossing movie, and its more that 20005's Batman Begins (not adjusted for inflation).
Event cinema has been a part of the box office for years now and in the current climate with the box office suffering due to a lack of big blockbuster movies we get a Micheal Ball and Alfie Boe concert as the top new movie of the weekend.
Entering at number 2 the event took £175K on its 2 days of release, Saturday and Sunday.

Another new poster has appeared online for the new Bond movie No Time To Die featuring 007 actor Daniel Craig with a large gun and ready for action.
It's yet another lacklustre poster, but it does fit in with the marketing campaign that has been seen to date for the movie.
These posters really don't scream quality, and this new one, intentional or not, looks out of focus and like I knocked it up in Photoshop late last night.
The new movie is set for release on November 12th 2020, but with the current release of Tenet not doing the numbers expected many films are starting to have their release dates shifted again, so there is a possibility it may happen to this Bond movie.
Arguably it could be the real movie to restart the box office, but as its Craig last outing it a risk to take.
The 25th film in the long running James Bond, 007 series. No Time To Die has a retired James Bond living with Madeleine Swann who holds a dark secret. Bond's best friend from the CIA Felix Leiter delivers some news that puts Bond back into action against a new villain, perhaps to a deadly end.
The marketing push for No Time To Die, the 25th James Bond 007 movie, has started to kick in with just 3 months to go before its November 12th release, a new poster on Tuesday and a new trailer today starts what will be one of the biggest campaigns for a Bond movie, Daniel Craigs last.

The trailer gets going after a predictable first minute with Bond throwing himself off yet another high structure, it then starts to show a little promise without giving too much of the movie away, and as is standard with Bond movies trailers these days it shows off plenty of stunt work and it looks incredible.
The story as we know it has a retired Bond being approached by old friend Felix Leiter, played once again by Jeffrey Wright, to rid the word of a mysterious villain known simply as Safin, played by Rami Malek.
Daniel Craig looks as dishevelled as Bond as ever, and in what looks like a promising move, maybe he's sharing the spotlight this time, as we know Lea Seydoux is returning as Madeleine Swann who Bond ended up with at the end of SPECTRE and she gets good screentime, also as we know Bond has retired in this movie and Lashana Lynch looks fantastic as Bonds replacement, and is she his equal?
After the movie got its release date movie due to the COVID-19 pandemic we don't have long to wait now until we get to see Daniel Craigs last ever outing as Bond, hankies at the ready.
