US box office top 5 weekend breakdown 15th - 18th April 2022
The new animated feature from the same studio that produced Shrek makes its North American debut at the top of the box office with a weekend gross of $24 Million.
Despite the fact this is no where near the $42 Million of Shrek from 2001, which is about $70 Million adjusted for inflation, this is a good debut for a new IP from the studio and should spawn a sequel.
The blue video have hedgehog remains at number 2 this weekend with Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore jumping over it, with a weekend gross of $15.2 Million.
This is a 49% drop over last weekend giving the movie a 3 week gross of $145.8 Million and the 4th top movie of 2022.
Falling hard on its second weekend of release is the Fantastic Beasts third movie which falls from the top to number 3 with $14 Million, a big 67% drop on its second weekend.
The movie has taken a total of $67.1 Million in the US and with bad reviews and word of mouth we could see this disappear quite quick onto HBO Max, with the future of the series in question!
Director Robert Eggers debuts his new movie, a Nordic action adventure starring Alexander Skarsgard and Nicole Kidman, at number 4 this weekend.
The movie takes $12 Million over its debut weekend, but with good word of mouth and critical acclaim this could see its better days ahead.
A massive marketing campaign and fairly good critical reviews dont seem to have helped this Nicholas Cage self parody movie as it makes its debut at number 5 with $7.1 Million.
Robert has been a film buff since he first visited the old Palace Cinema in High Wycome when he was young.
After working for Ritz Video Film Hire, later Blockbuster Express, it cemented his interest in film and gave him the drive to go to university with the intention of working in the industy.
6 years of college/university studying film and Culture and he decided to take a different path, so he taught himself to develop websites.
8 years at Amazon, 3 years at eBay, a year at PayPal and 6 years running his own digital marketing agency and here we are writing and developing saltypopcorn.co.uk.
