Despite being an underdog, the action-comedy film featuring an ensemble cast consisting of big names including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Sandra Bullock, Joey King, Bad Bunny and Masi Oka has finally gotten to the top of the box-office this weekend. Even though it's just the middle of August, the box office chart is contantly in flux, changing rapidly. 

Interestingly, as of August 2022, according to IMDb’s Box Office Mojo, the total gross domestic collection for ‘Bullet Train’ at present is at $54.4 million while animated superhero film ‘DC League of Super-Pets’ comes in at the second position with $33.9 million total gross domestic collection.

The official synopsis of ‘Bullet Train’ reads, "In Bullet Train, Brad Pitt stars as Ladybug, an unlucky assassin determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs gone off the rails. Fate, however, may have other plans, as Ladybug's latest mission puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from around the globe—all with connected, yet conflicting, objectives—on the world's fastest train. The end of the line is just the beginning in this non-stop thrill-ride through modern-day Japan from David Leitch, the director of Deadpool 2.”

Sony Pictures ‘Bullet Train’ is currently playing in theatres world-wide.
