UK box office QuickView
UK box office top 5 weekend breakdown 21st - 23rd January 2022.
6 weeks at the top now for the Marvel and Sony web slinger as the mega smash movie starring Tom Holland and Benedict Cumberbatch takes £2.3 Million over its 6th weekend of release, a good 27% drop over last weekend.
The movie has now taken an amazing £87.4 Million total in the UK, and it is the top movie of 2022 with £17.6 Million taken this year.
It is also the second top movie released in 2021 with only No Time To Die having taken more and to top it all off it is the 7th top movie of all time in the UK.
There is every possibility that the movie could stay at the top of another weekend, although with the release of animated sequel Sing 2 on Friday it has its work cut out, and this weeks top new movie Belfast is pulling in the audiences as word of mouth is hyping the film.
Directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Caitriona Balfe and Judi Dench this Irish movie is the highest debut of the weekend with £2.3 Million.
The movie actually topped the Irish and Scottish box office this week doing better than Spider-Man: No Way Home in those territories, but when combined it has to make do with a very strong number 2 debut.
With this successful UK launch the movie is the 5th top movie of 2022.
It has its work cut out, but the mid week chart has the movie as the top film of the week.
After making its debut at number 2 last week the movie drops to number 3 on its sophomore weekend with a take of £1.2 Million, a large 49% drop.
The movie has now taken £4.7 Million in total and is the 2nd top movie of 2022 so far.
Horror master Guillermo del Toro brings his latest movie to the big screen in the shape of a drama starring Bradley Cooper and Cate Blanchett which makes its debut with £550,868.
The movie has got good reviews and word of mouth but seems to have not made an impact on the movies box office showing and which could result in the film disappearing in a short amount of time.
Seven weeks on now for the live action version of the animated series as the movie drops to number 5 with £389,508, a low 38% drop over last weekend.
This gives the film a total UK gross of £4.1 Million, it is now the 4th top movie of 2022 with £2.5 Million of that taken this year.
