The Boy And The Heron takes the weekend box office, with Godzilla Minus One not far behind

It’s an exciting weekend for international cinema at the U.S. box office, with two Japanese films hitting the top three in American theaters—one live-action and one animated! The top spot went to the animated one, Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy And The Heron, which opened with $10 million (and on 1,000 fewer screens than second place’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes, which is in its fourth week).

The other Japanese movie, Godzilla Minus One, landed in third in its second week and made $8 million. Godzilla and Studio Ghibli rocking the American box office charts, how cool is that? Should Nintendo re-release The Super Mario Bros. Movie while we’re at it?

Trolls Band Together ($6.2 million) and Wish ($5.3 million) finish up the top five for the second week in a row, followed by Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé, which is hanging around and has made nearly $30 million. After that is Napoleon, having made $53 million after three weeks ahead of its eventual Apple TV+ premiere, and then Waitress: The Musical (the top 10’s only other newcomer), which made $2.5 million this week. Finally, the top 10 ends with controversial Indian film Animal and church-y multiverse movie The Shift.

Further down the charts, a Die Hard re-release made $923,000, the debut of Poor Things (on a very limited rollout of only nine screens) made a relatively huge $644,000, and Oppenheimer came sneaking back into theaters to add $350,000 to its $325 million total from over the summer.
