Thor still #1, Crawdads #3 at box office


For the weekend of July 15-17, 2022, Thor Love & Thunder didn't have to face any blockbusters in its second week and thus was able to easily continue its rule. A 68% drop isn't surprising, but it shows it's not going to catch the most recent installments of Spider-Man or Doctor Strange.

Of the new releases, Where the Crawdads Sing was able to get book-club members everywhere into the theater. Reviews were mixed so I don't expect it to have long legs. Paws of Fury was long delayed, and I expect it to be on Paramount's streaming service sooner rather than later.

Top Gun Maverick only having a 22% drop in its eighth week is amazing. It'll jump The Avengers and The Last Jedi sometime this week to become the 9th highest grossing movie of all time.

Jordan Peele's Nope opens this week, and that should toppled Thor in its third week.


Opens July 22
NOPE with Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer and Steven Yuen.
