BO Report: ‘Chhalla Mud Ke Nahi Aaya’, ‘Lee Kernaghan: Boy From the Bush’ make mark in quiet weekend
After a noisy few months at the box office, last weekend proved the slowest since mid-May.
Nostalgia has paid off at the box office once again, with 'Jurassic World Dominion' debuting at no. 1 last weekend, while 'Top Gun: Maverick' continues to draw strong crowds.
Tom Cruise proved himself as big a box office draw as any comic book creation on the weekend, with 'Top Gun: Maverick' starting its engine at $13.8 million.
'Sonic the Hedgehog 2' has powered back to the top of the box office, toppling last weekend's number one, 'The Lost City', and well ahead of new additions 'The Northman' and 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent'.
Going up against The Caped Crusader - or indeed any superhero - at the box office is a daunting prospect at present, but both the Channing Tatum-led 'Dog' and anime 'Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie' opened decently last weekend
At $11.5 million (or $12.8 million with previews) the opening weekend result for Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' is the second highest of the pandemic era behind 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'.
Kenneth Branagh's 'Death On The Nile' seems to have tempted at least some older moviegoers - those who have so far been the most reticent to return to cinemas - out of their homes.
It was déjà vu at the box office last weekend, with the top six titles from the previous weekend in the same position, and no new releases ranking in the top 10.
