It’s hardly surprising, but it’s still nice to see: After two full months without a proper smash-hit at the box office (nothing released this year has broken $100 million), Dune: Part Two

In second place, with just $1 million more than Dune 2 total after three weeks, is Bob Marley: One Love (it made $7 million this weekend, which ain’t nothing, but it’s a lot less than $81 million). Speaking of less: Churchy drama Ordinary Angels made $3.8 million, followed closely by Madame WebDune coming out, since people love to be in on a meme). Finishing up the top five is yet another win for Christianity, with two new episodes of The Chosen’s fourth season adding a few more million dollars to the show’s surprising box office bank. (We’ll leave it up to someone whose name is not so clearly printed at the top of this article to try and make a comparison between the story of Jesus and the plot of Dune. Get mad at them, not us.)

The bottom half of the top 10 is all movies that have been around for at least a couple of weeks, including Migration and Wonka (enjoying 11 and 12 weeks in theaters, respectively) and anime tie-in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba—To The Hashira Training. Also, The BeekeperMean Girls, is buried way down at number 21.
