The international box office movies showed exciting results this past week, with several films earning considerable profits. Among the highlights were Minions: The Rise of Gru, Thor: Love And Thunder, Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic World: Dominion. These have earned considerable numbers in markets other than the United States. They are having a more significant impact on the European continent, either because it is still popular or because they recently introduced the film in a country in this region.
