The Croods: A New Age A U film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over, although it is impossible to predict what might upset any particular child.

U films should be set within a positive framework and should offer reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threat or horror. If a work is particularly suitable for pre-school children, this will be indicated in the ratings info.

UK box office top 5 breakdown 16th - 18th July 2021

Black Widow

The Scarlett Johansson starring movie remains at the top of the UK box office for a second weekend with £1.8 Million, a quite large 74% drop from last weekend.

This gives the movie a total UK gross of £11.2 Million after 2 weeks of release and its the fourth top grossing movie of 2021 so far.

Space Jam: A New Legacy

Making its debut at number 2 this weekend is the sequel movie to 1996's Space Jam which took £1.3 Million over the weekend.

Compared to the original its far lower as the 1996 original took £4.6 Million on it's debut weekend, its a little unfair considering the global pandemic, but I would have thought this movie would have taken less regardless.

The Forever Purge

The fifth movie in the long running series makes its debut at number 3 with £720,032.

The highest grossing movie in the series is 2018's The First Purge which took £1.7 Million on its debut.

The Croods: A New Age

Another sequel hitting the box office this weekend is the animated sequel starring Nicolas Cage which makes its debut at number 4 with £696,563.

The original movie, The Croods was released in 2013 and took £5.3 Million on its debut, even considering the pandemic this is a disappointing debut for the sequel.

Fast & Furious 9

The ninth Fast movie falls to number 5, from 2, on its 4th weekend of release with a gross of £446,126, a large 59% drop.

This movie seems to be sinking faster than expected and after 4 weeks has taken £14.14 Million, although it is currently the second top grossing movie of 2021.

The MCU take a second weekend at the top of the global box office as Black Widow remains at number 1, but Space Jam: A New Legacy makes a strong challenge for the top on its second weekend.

The Space Jam sequel is the real top new movie at number 2, although it did get a release in Russia last week where is took $194,073, which makes Chinese movie The Day We Lit Up the Sky the top new movie making its debut at number 6 this weekend with $11.8 Million.

As the movie is also available on the Disney+ platform with an additional fee, which brought in nearly $100 Million more for the movie, it could be a tough box office ahead as many will choose to wait until its available without the additional fee in the coming months.

A Quiet Place Part II

Director John Krasinski silent horror movie goes back to the top of the US box office on its third weekend of release as it has a close battle with In The Heights.

The movie takes $11.4 Million this weekend which is a 40 % drop from last weekend, but its total goes over $100 Million to $108.9 Million making it the first movie to over the milestone since the pandemic started in March 2020.

In the Heights

Making its debut at number 2 this week and narrowly missing out on the top spot is the Jon M. Chu directed musical which takes $11.4 Million over the weekend.

The movie may have limited appeal but its a strong summer movie so there is the potential for it to stick around on the box office over the summer months.

Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway

The sequel to 2018's Peter Rabbit makes its US debut at number 3 this weekend with a gross of $10.4 Million.

The movie has been a bit hit in the UK and other areas across the globe but doesn't seem to have hit the right note in America with a slightly disappointing debut.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

The horror sequel falls from the top to number 4 this weekend with a gross of $10.02 Million, a 58% drop from its debut, but not that bad for a summer horror movie.

The movie has a total gross in the US of $43.8 Million.

Cruella

Disney's 101 Dalmatians prequel falls to number 5 this weekend with $6.7 Million, a 39% drop over last weekend giving the movie a total gross of $56 Million after 3 weeks of release.

The US cinema going public is enjoying its horror movies at the start of the summer season as The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It its the top spot on its debut weekend replacing A Quiet Place Part II.

Last weeks horror movie falls to number 2 this weekend and elsewhere on the top 5 is a new entry for animated movie Spirit Untamed which is at 4.

Also worth a note this week is the first movie to get over $100 Million since the pandemic started will happen by next weekend, and although Godzilla Vs. Kong has come very close it will be A Quiet Place Part II which will go part the milestone first.

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!
