"(Dragon Ball) Super Heroes (are) Super" again as they "Beast" their way to the Top of the Charts
Gotta admit, I'm not a "Dragon Ball" fan. Never have been. Never had any interest in it. That being said, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, did take first place this weekend with $15.8 million, with $4.3 million coming from Thursday previews. It was projected to do $13.2 million. I mean, this shyt was distributed by Crunchyroll. Only time I've ever heard of Crunchyroll was when I saw it on the list of streaming apps on my PS4, years ago.
Apparently, only 10% of people who bought tickets saw TV ads for Dragon Ball compared to 39% who saw the YouTube trailer. That's some damn effective online marketing. It also pulled in an additional $12 million Internationally for a total of $32.1 million worldwide. 
Coming in second was the Idris Elba vehicle, Beast, which grossed $11.5 million. I mean, that's not bad, if you consider that it was projected to do $10 million. But that projection was based on a release of 3,500 theaters. Beast showed in 3,743 theaters. So, right in line with projections. With a $36 million production budget, that's disappointing, in a vacuum. But, Universal just went over $3 billion at the worldwide box office, so they'll be aight. That being said, Beast, is sitting at a
5.9 on IMDb. That's good for :2stars:. Still tho, it did pull in $10.2 mill at the international box office, for a total of $21.8 mill worldwide. So, it ain't all bad.
Pulling into third place was Bullet Train with $8 million. That was down by 40% from last week. It saw a reduction of 576 theaters. It did a lil better than projections projected: $7.6 million / 43% decline. So, the Bullet Train is still on the tracks. It's grossed $149.9 worldwide, including $68.9 million domestically. That's still only a worldwide box office of 1.7 times the $85.9 million budget. 2.5 is the magical break-even point. Still a ways to go for Bullet Train.
Sorry, Joey; I don't think so.
Still holding on in the Top Five is Top Gun: Maverick, taking the number four spot with $5.8 million. That's only down 17.1% from last weekend. Another week, another record. With $683.3 million, Top Gun: Maverick, has now passed Avengers: Infinity War ($678.8 mill) for 6th place all time at the Domestic Box Office. It's 19th all time adjusted for inflation, right behind Close Encounters of the Third Kind at $685.7 million. At $1.403 billion, it just passed Avengers: Age of Ultron's $1.402 billion, to move into 12 place all time at the Worldwide Box Office. What more can I say? Goose, play the beat.
It's no surprise that DC League of Super Pets rounded out the Top Five, with $5.7 million. Projected to gross $4.9 million with a drop of 30%, The Rock turned those numbers sideways and stuck em right up the prognosticators candy asses.
Super Pets only fell 17.5%. Still, with a worldwide gross of $130.3 million ($67.4 mill domestically) its still only grossed 1.4 times its $90 million production budget. That's a lil behind Bullet Train in terms of Warner Bros. (Discovery ) breaking even. $24.8 million, to be exact. Whatchu think Zaslav is looking like looking at those numbers?
Yeah, probably.
Notables Outside the Top Five
Nope has now grossed $19.2 million in 34 international markets. It's up to $133 million worldwide.
Minions: The Rise of Gru just released in China and grossed $11.7 million. Universal gets to keep $2.9 mill of that. It's now up to $833.6 million worldwide. It's also number 5 this year at the Domestic Box Office.
Jurassic World Dominion is up to $984.7 million worldwide. It just keeps climbing. Can it make a billion?
I didn't mention this last weekend, but, E.T. was re-released in IMAX for it's 40th anniversary. It's now grossed $1.7 million, including another $310,000 this weekend. That's one I'd like to see in the theater seeing how it came out before mama spit me out in the spital.
See y'all next weekend
It's projected to gross $6.4 mill this weekend after pulling in $11.5 in it's debut last week.
But hey, at least it was number one tho! With a $10 million budget, it's not inconceivable that this can turn a profit for Sony but this shyt it sitting at a 5.4 on IMDb out of 1,110 votes. That's the equivalent to :2stars:. Are you rushing to the movies to see some 
After two weeks, the anime has now grossed $30.7M domestically and $57.1M worldwide. Distributed by Crunchyroll, this gives Sony three of the top five slots this weekend. We'll see what happens next weekend when Spider-Man: No Way Home — The More Fun Stuff Version is re-released in 3,000 theaters.
