With no new wide releases cracking the top 5, Sony/Columbia’s “Bullet Train” will hold on to the No. 1 spot with a second weekend total of just $13.4 million, a 56% drop from its $30 million opening.

Sagging box office numbers also means that Paramount’s “Top Gun: Maverick,” which slid out of the top 5 for the first time last weekend, has risen all the way back to No. 2 with $7.1 million in its 12th weekend. That’s actually a two percent increase from its $7 million total last weekend as it is beginning to return to premium formats like Imax, Dolby and XD during the end-of-summer slowdown.
With $673 million grossed in North America, “Maverick” needs just $5 million more to pass the domestic run of “Avengers: Infinity War” for the No. 6 spot on the all-time list. It should make that amount in the coming week as it is well on course to pass $700 million and take the No.
5 spot from “Black Panther.” The sole newcomer to the box office charts is Lionsgate’s “Fall,” which was released in 1,548 theaters and is estimated for an opening weekend of $2.5 million. With a budget of just $3 million, the survival thriller about a pair of climbers trapped on a radio tower has earned positive reception with a B on CinemaScore and Rotten Tomatoes scores of 71% critics and 79% audience. More to come…
