Highest new movie this weekend
Its been a busy time at this years CinemaCon festival and today during the Paramount Pictures presentation they announced the names of Mission:Impossible 7 and the spin off A Quiet Plavce movie.
Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 will be released in July of 2023, pushed back from 2022 so as not to clash with the other big Tom Cruise sequel Top Gun Maverick.
A Quiet Place: Day One will be released sometime in 2023 and as the title suggests it will take us back to the origins of the hearing sensitive aliens.
The suggestion for Mission:Impossible it would seem is that the eight movie in the series will be Part 2 but thats not been confirmed, maybe the original movie was so long they split it in two!
The movie is directed by Christopher McQuarrie and stars Tom Cruise returning for his 7th outing as Ethan Hawk.
The world which John Krasinski created in the blockbuster A Quiet Place seems to be expanding more in each film, and director Michael Sarnoski will be in charge of showing how that world started.
Rumour has it John Krasinski will be back in 2025 directing a direct sequel to his 2021 movie A Quiet Place Part II.
After making a mark for herself in the DC universe with the successful Wonder Woman and the soon to be released Wonder Woman 1984, director Parry Jenkins is directing a spin off Star Wars movie Rogue Squadron.
No more details were given at Disneys Investors Convention on December 10th but the image shows an X-Wing fighter and as we know Rogue Squadron was a Rebel Alliance starfighter squadron in the original Star Wars.
The spin off movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was named after this call sign.
That film which was well received by fans was based before the original Star Wars movie, no this could likely be about the formation of the squad and go into more detail about that time in the first film, with crossovers.
The movie isn't set for release until December 2023 and joins the already announced movies being directed by Thor Ragnorak director Taika Waititi.
Retaining its place at the top is the franchise movie Fast & Furious Presents Hobbs And Shaw, mainly due to its incredible performance in China and with little in the way of new films there are no new entries this week.
Still pulling in the punters, especially in China is the spin off movie from the Fast & Furious series which this week takes $45.3 Million from 70 countries.
This brings the films total global gross to $682.3 Million after 5 weeks of release.
Still sitting in the number 2 position is the Disney CGI animated movie which this week takes $27.3 Million from 54 countries.
This means that after 8 weeks the film has taken an incredible $1.56 Billion globally.
Tarantinos 9th film and biggest hit to date sits at 3 this week with $25.6 Million from 61 countries which takes its global total to $282.3 after 6 weeks of release.
The threequel film falls to number 4 this week with a gross of $24.3 Million from 44 countries taking its total gross to $69.4 Million after 2 weeks of release.
The Chinese animated film is still on the top 5 this weekend, at 5, with a weekend gross of $17.4 Million from just 4 countries.
The films total global gross is now a staggering $685.4 Million after 6 weeks of release.
As were 8 movies into the Fast and Furious series you'd have though they were running out of steam, but oh no here comes the spin off starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham.
As you'll see from the trailer Idris Elba is also in the film as some kind of strong guy verging on superhero/villain.
It all has a familiar Fast and Furious feel to it which will please fans and you can check the trailer, and new poster which dropped yesterday, the film is released 2nd August 2019.
