Box-Office Weekend: Maverick Maintains Hold

For the second consecutive week Top Gun: Maverick maintained its dominance over the box-office weekend. This time around, the film beat the movie in second-place by only $76.7 million (as opposed to the $107.6 million margin it enjoyed last weekend).

Tom Cruise enjoyed another weekend of box-office supremacy as Top Gun: Maverick brought in $86.0 million during its second weekend of release. This gives it a two-week total of $291.6 million, making it the largest domestic tally of Cruise’s career. Meanwhile, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness held steady in second place with $9.3 million over the weekend, raising the film’s domestic total to $388.7 million over its five weeks in release. Also staying put was The Bob’s Burgers Movie which held onto third place in its second weekend of release with $4.5 million. The film now claims an overall tally of $22.2 million. The Bad Guys managed to gain some ground over the weekend to finish in fourth place with $3.3 million. The film now has a seven-week total of $87.3 million. Meanwhile, this pushed last weekend’s fourth-place film, Downton Abbey: A New Era to the fifth spot with $3.0 million, giving the film a three-week total of $35.7 million.

Everything Everywhere All at Once managed to climb a spot and finish in sixth place over the weekend with $2.0 million. This gives the film an eleven-week total of $60.6 million. Seventh place was occupied by newcomer, Vikram, which brought in $1.8 million in its first weekend of release. Dropping from sixth last weekend to eighth this weekend was Sonic the Hedgehog 2 which made $1.7 million over the weekend, raising its nine-week total to $188.3 million. This pushed The Lost City down a spot to a ninth-place finish with $1.4 million over the weekend. The Sandra Bullock film now claims an eleven-week total of $104.0 million. Finally, the latest film from director David Cronenberg, Crimes of the Future, finished in tenth place with $1.1 million to show for its first weekend in release.

Only two films were ousted from the box-office weekend top ten this time around. Last weekend’s ninth-place finisher, Men, departed our weekly list with $7.2 million total over the last three weeks; and F3: Fun and Frustration leaves the top ten with a grand total of $1.2 million after finishing in the final spot last weekend.
