Top 5 Highest Grossing Films for Weekend of March 25-27, 2022
5. Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie ($4.6 million)
4. Uncharted ($5 million)
3. RRR ($9.5 million)
2. The Batman ($20.5 million)
1. The Lost City ($30.4 million)
After 3 weeks as the highest-grossing film across the United States, “The Batman” has been demoted by “The Lost City”. Written by sibling filmmaking duo the Nee Brothers, the film stars Sandra Bullock as Loretta Sage, a successful yet depressed romance novelist who gets kidnapped by quirky billionaire Abigail Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe), who is convinced she can lead him to an ancient treasure.
“The Lost City” marked Radcliffe’s first gig as a villain. In an interview with the New York Times, he revealed that he found the experience to be “a huge amount of fun”, despite it being physically exhausting for his fellow costars. He also added that playing a villain was liberating compared to his previous roles as the hero, explaining that there’s no pressure to act a certain way or be liked by viewers.
Another new release that topped weekend ticket sales was “RRR”. Created in India and released in Telugu language, this epic historical fiction film is set in the 1920s, and follows two revolutionaries’ time away from home before they return home to India to fight against British colonialists.
