Last weekend’s top film stood no chance against the debut of Minions: The Rise of Gru as the animated sequel beat Top Gun: Maverick by $92.2 million to wrest control of the box-office weekend from Tom Cruise.
The Disney/Pixar film Lightyear finished in sixth-place with $7.9 million over the four-day weekend, giving the film a three-week total of $106.7 million. Seventh place was claimed by the weekend’s second debut, Mr. Malcolm’s List which managed to bring in $1.0 million over the weekend. Dropping from sixth to eighth place was the Marvel film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness which added $483,000 to bring its nine-week total to $410.6 million. Holding steady in ninth-place was The Bob’s Burgers Movie which took in $241,000 to raise the film’s six-week total to $31.6 million. Finally, climbing back into the top ten was Downton Abbey: A New Era which made $208,000 over the long weekend. This raise the sequel’s seven-week tally to $43.8 million.
Again, three films fell from the box-office top ten. After raising its two-week total to around $1 million, Jug Jugg Jeeyo was unceremoniously forced from the top ten. Similarly, last weekend’s ninth- and tenth-place films, Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Bad Guys both dropped from the top ten. Everything Everywhere All at Once leaves after amassing a fifteen-week total of $67.0 million, while The Bad Guys sports an eleven-week tally of $96 million..
