Brad Pitt’s “Bullet Train” held the top spot at the US and Canadian box office for the second consecutive weekend, thanks largely to a lack of major releases, with $ 13.4 million grossed in 4,357 theaters.
As a result, Sony’s production reached $ 54.2 million in 10 days in North America and $ 114.5 million worldwide.
The film was Hollywood’s last big release of the summer of 2022, and the lack of blockbusters in the coming weeks worried exhibitors. To complicate matters, the performance of “Bullet Train” is underwhelming, in part because critics didn’t come on board, considering the mediocre feature: it only had 53% approval on Rotten Tomatoes.
The only major opening of the weekend was “Fall”, an adventure thriller about a group of climbers. But the Lionsgate production, which opens in Brazil on September 29, recorded sales of just $ 2 million across 1,548 locations. It dropped outside of the Top 10 and below indie horror Bodies Bodies Bodies, which came in at number 8 with an estimate of $ 3 million, despite taking up half the space of “The Fall”.
“Morte Morte Morte” hit six screens last week and its circuit was expanded to 928 screens this weekend. Directed by Dutch actress and director Halina Reijn (“Instinct”), the humorous slasher A24 stars Amandla Stenberg (“The Hate You Sow”), Maria Bakalova (“Borat’s Next Film Tape”) and Pete Davidson (“The Suicide Squad “), and only arrives in Brazil on 6 October.
Without much news, exhibitors decided to turn to “Top Gun: Maverick” again, expanding their circuit from 2,760 to 3,181 locations, including premium screening rooms. With that, Tom Cruise’s film moved up the charts, climbing to # 3 with $ 7.1 million over the weekend and pretty much on par with # 2, “DC League of Superpets,” which grossed $ 200,000. more.
Thanks to this push, Paramount’s production surpassed $ 673.8 million nationwide and is one step away from becoming the sixth highest-grossing film of all time in North America, ranking “Avengers: Infinity War” “($ 678.8 million). Globally,” Top Gun: Maverick “is worth $ 1.35 billion.
The films “Thor: Love and Thunder” and “No! Don’t Look” complete the Top 5.
