We're doing things a little differently this week listing both box office and top movies in streaming from a few services because why not. (Let us know what you think). Sadly, despite plentiful signs that people are willing to go back to movie theaters, the studios just aren't putting enough movies in theaters. Only 8 movies are currently in wide release. Pre COVID there would sometimes be over 20 movies in wide release in a single week...

Regardless of quality, audiences will always turn out for Jurassic movies on account of giant dinosaurs. So though this is the last "Jurassic World" movie, after three "Jurassic Park" movies, there will surely be a third trilogy given the steadily gigantic box office. In happier news, Top Gun Maverick (which is a better movie than what it's sequelizing... unlike the dinosaurs) will become the biggest hit of 2022, topping Doctor Strange any day now.
Arthouse offerings aren't getting much attention at the moment but heads up that the big winner at France's César Awards, Lost Illusions, is now in limited release in the US.
| NEW STREAMING imperfect reporting since streaming doesn't really have many systems for that yet. this list excludes older films or series that are still poplular like "friends" "big bang theory" etcetera 🔺 = new or expanding / ★ = Recommended links if we've written about it |

If you're curious Fire Island (which we've been obsessing over) is currently the #1 Hulu original at the moment but it's blocked from appearing higher here by holdover theatrical hits from 2021 that are now hitting the service.
