UK weekend box office top 5 breakdown 12th - 14th August 2022

Highest new movie of the weekend

Director Jordan Peele has carved out a very good niche for himself in the suspense horror genre and following Get Out and Us~2019 he lands at the top with his with his third movie.

Taking a weekend gross of £1.98 Million it doesn't quite reach the gross of Us~2019 which took £2.7 Million in its debut.

It also doesn't quite get to the £2.1 Million of Get Out from 2017, but with little in the way of strong competition going forward, and the hot weather in the UK this weekend this movie could have a longer run.

Critical reviews haven't been as good as the previous 2 movie, and although the movie has been enjoyed it is considered the directors lowest rating movie to date.

Brad Pitts crazy adventure on the famous Japanese train falls to number 2 this weekend with a weekend take of £906,000, a 68% drop over last weekend.

The movie has now taken £5.1 Million at the UK box office over its 2 weeks of release.

The fourth movie in the Thor series takes £535,000 as it drop to number 5 on the box office chart.

It has now taken £34.6 Million over its 6 weeks of release and is the 6th top movie of 2022, it is also doing better than the previous movie in the series Thor: Ragnarok.

Taking over at the top of the UK box office this weekend is the action comedy movie Bullet Train, set on, as the name suggest, the famous Bullet Train in Japan.

Also new this weekend is the event movie Westlife: Live From Wembley Stadium which makes its debut at number 8 with £468,214 and Sita Ramam which is new at 14 with £35,403.

Top Gun Maverick spends its firs weekend outside the top 5 this week, but the movie which has been on the chart for 11 weeks takes £609,409 for a total of £77.5 Million.

UK weekend box office top 5 breakdown 5th - 7th August 2022

The fourquel movie in the Thor series of MCU movies falls to number 4 this weekend with £938,257, a 51% drop over its gross last weekend.

This gives the movie a total UK gross of £33.2 Million over its 5 weeks of release and is the 7th top movie of 2022.

The movie is tracking just ahead of Thor: Ragnarok which had taken £29 Million 5 weeks into its run.
