For the weekend of May 20-22, 2022, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness continued to dominate in its third week. It portends well for the blockbusters coming later this summer that this will at least be better than 2020 or 2021.
Of the new releases, Downton Abbey: A New Era didn't open as well as the first one, but with its modest budget that may not matter. They'd be justified in greenlighting a third if they so chose.
Men was a low opener for Alex Garland (Annihilation, Ex Machina) but I wonder how much better it would have done with a bigger name in its lead. Jessie Buckley (The Lost Daughter) may be an Academy-Award nominee, but how many casual moviegoers knew that or even know who she is?
Opens May 27
TOP GUN MAVERICK with Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller and Jon Hamm.
THE BOB'S BURGERS MOVIE with the voices of H. Jon Benjamin and Kristen Schaal.
