Bullet Train Maintains Top Spot at Box Office With Second Weekend



All in all, it was a fairly quiet weekend at the box office, though Bullet Train will take the win by earning the No. 1 spot upon its second weekend in theaters. Directed by David Leitch, the film features A-lister Brad Pitt in the lead as part of a strong ensemble that also includes Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Sandra Bullock. It wasn’t cheap to make with a budget of around $90 million.

Last weekend, Bullet Train premiered at No. 1 by drawing more than $30 million in domestic ticket sales. That number fell by about 55% with its second weekend, pulling in another $13.4 million. Despite the fall, Bullet Train remains the No. 1 movie by outperforming its predecessors. The film currently has a worldwide total that’s now up to more than $114 million earned.

The animated feature DC League of Super-Pets also maintains its second-place spot with Bullet Train still chugging ahead. Featuring the voices of Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart as the pets of famous superheroes, the feature has drawn $7.17 million with its third weekend in theaters; it had initially premiered in the No. 1 spot. That film is now up to $109.7 million globally.

Flying back into a prominent spot will be Top Gun: Maverick, the movie that just cannot seem to stop making bank at the box office. Even after three months, the film has pulled back up into the No. 3 spot with another $7.15 million to toss onto the mountain of cash that’s already been procured by the Tom Cruise sequel. The movie, currently the seventh-highest-grossing movie ever released, has made more than $1.37 billion worldwide at this point.

Fall Debuts at No. 10

Lionsgate

One new film that made its debut this weekend would be the Lionsgate feature Fall. The movie barely cracked the top ten by debuting in the No. 1 spot, earning $2.5 million in stateside movie theaters. While it didn’t take off quite as well as the studio had likely been hoping for, the film is not going to be a total dud. It had a very modest budget, costing around $3 million to produce. Filmmakers had reportedly utilized deepfake technology to remove most of the swear words with the hopes that a PG-13 rating would increase theatrical turnout.

Overall, the weekend was not a busy one at theaters, especially compared to some of the whopping numbers garnered by some of the tentpoles that have been previously released this year.
