For the second week in a row the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man: No Way Home held the top spot of the box-office weekend. The film made $57.7 million more that the second-place film. No Way Home now boasts a two-week tally of $467.3 million. This solidifies the film’s ranking as the highest grossing film (domestically) of the year, besting Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings by $242.8 million and counting.
Falling three spots to finish in sixth place over the weekend was Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story which took in $2.8 million over the weekend giving the film a three-week total of $23.9 million. Enjoying a boost from a wider release, Licorice Pizza cracked the top ten in its fifth week of release and landed in the seventh spot with $2.3 million. Meanwhile, A Journal for Jordan made its debut in the top ten at number eight in its first week of release with $2.2 million. The animated Encanto plummeted from last week’s second-place finish to ninth place this weekend with $2.0 million. This gives the film a five-week total of $88.3 million. Finally, the sixth debut in the top ten this weekend, 83, finished in the tenth spot with $1.8 million to show for its first week in release.
An astounding seven films we chased from the top ten this weekend. Despite boasting a six-week total of $120.5 million, Ghostbusters: Afterlife could only conjure $1.27 million over the weekend and feel from fourth place to nowhere in the top ten. After finishing in fifth place in its debut last week, Guillermo del Toro’s Nightmare Alley failed to crack to the top ten and departs with $5.4 million over its first two weeks in release. House of Gucci dropped from the sixth spot and leaves the top ten with $47.2 million over five weeks. Last week’s seventh-place finisher, the Indian film Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1, also departed the top ten after lifting its total take to $1.3 million last weekend. Marvel’s Eternals dropped from eighth place in its eighth week in release and now sports a total of $164.5 million. Falling from the ninth spot was Clifford the Big Red Dog, which leaves the top ten with a nine-week total of $48.8 million. Finally, the latest (last, hopefully) film in the long-running “Resident Evil” series, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, dropped out of the top ten after finishing in the tenth spot last week with a seven-week total of $16.9 million.
