Also new this weekend is the sequel movie Orphan: First Kill which is new at 12 with $1.7 Million.
Highest New Movie of the Weekend
Making its debut at the top of the US box office this weekend is the animated sequel movie from the Dragon Ball Super series of animated films and a sequel to Dragon Ball Super: Broly
The movie takes a very good $20 Million in its debut which is twice that of the first movies $9 Million debut.
Dragon Ball Super: Broly had a 5 week box office run with a lower opening gross and look $30 MIllion so with little in the way of competition in the coming weeks this sequel could have a better run.
The new starring vehicle for superstar Idris Elba lands at number 2 this weekend with a gross of $11.5 Million.
Elba also featured in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 from earlier this year which took $190.9 Million and he laso had a cameo in Thor: Love and Thunder which took $332 Million.
The Brad Pitt starring movie falls to number 3 this weekend with $8 Million, a 40% drop over last weekend.
The movie has now taken $69 Million at the North American box office after 3 weeks of release.
The smash hit if the summer falls to number 4 this weekend, its 13th weekend of release with a gross of $5.9 Million, a tiny 16% drop over last weekend.
No one could have predicted 3 months ago just how big this movie would be, especially 36 years after the original Top Gun, but it has now grossed $683 Million at the North American box office, it is by far the biggest movie of 2022 and I dont see it being caught, even by Avatar: The Way of Water which is out mid December.
The movie is also the 6th top grossing movie of all time in America having just overtaken Avengers: Infinity War and despite the fact it is available on home video and streaming in a weeks time I would be willing to bet it could catch Black Panther as the 5th top movie of all time.
Finally at number 5 is the animated feature from the DC Universe which takes $5.6 Million on its 4th weekend of release.
The movie has a total US gross of $67.3 Million.
