Box Office: ‘Weapons’ Sees Strong Weekend Hold

“Weapons” reclaimed the top spot at the box office, grossing $25 million in its second weekend, showing a remarkable 43% decline in ticket sales from its debut weekend.

The horror film has garnered positive reviews and strong word-of-mouth, amassing $89 million domestically and $148 million worldwide so far.

Coming on the heels of Warner Bros.’ string of recent hits, the success of “Weapons” signals a positive turn for the studio after earlier financial setbacks.

Meanwhile, Universal’s action thriller “Nobody 2” premiered with $9.2 million in third place, continuing the story of Hutch Mansell’s vacation gone awry, receiving a mixed response from audiences.

Disney’s “Freakier Friday” retained its audience with $14.5 million, while Marvel’s “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” saw a significant drop to $8.8 million after a strong opening.

These box office results suggest mixed fortunes for the film industry, with some films exceeding expectations while others struggle to maintain momentum.
