With a new comic book inspired movie there was nothing else of note released, The Contractor~2022 starring Chris Pine was another movie making its debut, at number 12 with $535,000.
US box office top 5 weekend breakdown 1st - 3rd April 2022
Another new comic book character comes to the big screen in an origins story, this time its the less known about Morbius from the Spider-Man comic books which is owned by Sony Pictures.
With the Venom movies being a sizeable hit for the studio this must have seemed like a good prospect to increase the universe, but a critical panning and mad word of mouth could see this stall at a single film.
The movie takes a reasonable $39.1 Million on its debut, but with Sonic the Hedgehog 2 out next weekend, and getting better reviews, the movie could sink fast.
It is the 10th top movie of 2022 after a single weekend of release.
After a single weekend at the top of the US box office the action comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum falls to number 2 with a weekend gross of $14.8 Million, a 51% drop.
This gives the movie a total North American gross of $54.8 Million after 2 weekends of release, its the 8th top movie of 2022.
Still hanging onto a spot on the top 3 the Robert Pattinson Caped Crusader movie falls to number 3 this weekend with $10.8 Million, a 47% drop.
The movie has been on the chart now for 5 weeks and has taken a total of $349 Million, it is the top movie of 2022.
The Ruben Fleischer directed video game adaptation remains at number 4 this weekend with a gross of $3.6 Million, a small 28% drop over last weekend, giving the movie a total gross of $138.9 Million and the 3rd top movie of 2022.
