Top 5 Highest Grossing Films for Weekend of August 26-28, 2022
5. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero ($4.6 million)
4. Top Gun: Maverick ($4.8 million)
3. Beast ($4.9 million)
2. Bullet Train ($5.6 million)
1. The Invitation ($7 million)

The last weekend of August was the quietest of the entire month, grossing $52.1 million across 34 releases – the least amount of releases since the long Easter weekend back in April. Sony’s supernatural horror film “The Invitation” was the number-one release for this weekend. Having grossed $7 million across the United States, it was the lowest-grossing film to make it to number one since “Spiral“, which grossed $4.6 million during its opening weekend in May 2021.

Inspired by Bram Stoker’s Dracula and directed by Jessica M. Thompson, “The Invitation” follows Evie (Nathalie Emmanuel), an orphan who discovers dark secrets about her family while being courted by mysterious gothic aristocrat Walter (Thomas Doherty).

“Bullet Train” replaced “Beast” for the number-two spot over the weekend after the latter was met with mixed criticism from viewers who compared it to a B-movie due to its predictable storyline. While “Bullet Train” was also met with mixed reviews, it was praised for its high-speed action sequences and all-star cast.
