USA box office on the 1st weekend in July (2017-2023)

 
USA box office on the first weekend in July 2023 is down 42% compared to last year when "Minions:  The Rise of Gru" was the top-grossing movie.  The first weekend of July also registered the biggest box-office tally since before 2017.

Indiana Jones had a short-lived box office reign. Disney’s action-adventure “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” dropped to the No. 2 spot in its second weekend of release, earning $26.5 million from 4,600 North American theaters. It was dethroned by Sony’s horror-thriller “Insidious: The Red Door,” which beat expectations with its $32.6 million debut from 3,188 venues. Ticket sales for “Indiana Jones,” the fifth and final installment to star Harrison Ford’s swashbuckling adventurer, declined by 56% from its $60 million opening weekend, continuing the theatrical misfortunes for the nearly $300 million-budgeted movie.
