Falling out of the top five for the first time in a very long time was Top Gun: Maverick, which finished just behind the minions in sixth place with $7.0 million. This gives the Tom Cruise film an eleven-week total of $662.5 million. added $8.2 million over the weekend to bring its ten-week total to an impressive $650.1 million. Similarly dropping from sixth to seventh, was the critical hit Where the Crawdads Sing with $5.6 million. The film now boasts a four-week total of $64.6 million. In eighth place was the weekend’s second new film, Easter Sunday, which debuted to the tune of $5.3 million. Dropping two spots to finish in ninth-place was Elvis, which added another $4.0 million over the weekend to bring its seven-week total to $136.5 million. Finally, The Black Phone slipped from eighth- to tenth-place bringing in $1.5 million over the weekend. This gives the horror film a seven-week total of $85.9 million.
Again, only two films were pushed out of the weekend box-office top ten as Jurassic World Dominion took leave of the list with a nine-week total of $371.8 million. Meanwhile, Vengeance drops from the top ten in only its second week of release with $3.3 million to show for two weeks in theaters.
