With the summer box office winding down, Warner Bros.\/New Line\u2019s \u201cWeapons\u201d remains atop the charts with a very impressive $25 million second weekend.<\/p>\n
While not the spectacular 3% second weekend drop of fellow Warner horror hit \u201cSinners\u201d this past spring, it is still just a 43% drop from the $43.5 million opening for director Zach Cregger\u2019s second feature film. It now stands with an $89 million domestic total and $148.8 million worldwide against a $38 million spend.<\/p>\n
More from TheWrap<\/strong><\/p>\n Last week, \u201cWeapons\u201d became the sixth straight Warner release to open above $40 million in North America, and this week it will become the sixth straight film to clear $100 million in domestic grosses.<\/p>\n While the studio had a weak first quarter of 2025 with box office duds like \u201cCompanion,\u201d \u201cMickey 17,\u201d and \u201cAlto Knights,\u201d Warner turned it around with the near-$1 billion box office run of Legendary\u2019s \u201cA Minecraft Movie.\u201d The streak continued with \u201cSinners,\u201d \u201cFinal Destination: Bloodlines,\u201d Apple\u2019s \u201cF1\u201d and DC\u2019s \u201cSuperman.\u201d<\/p>\n Next up on their slate: New Line\u2019s \u201cThe Conjuring: Last Rites\u201d in September. Early tracking has that film earning a $35 million opening weekend.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Disney\u2019s \u201cFreakier Friday\u201d is holding decently this weekend, staying at No. 2 on the charts with a 50% drop from its $28.5 million opening with $14.5 million grossed this weekend. The legacyquel stands at $54.8 million domestic and $86.3 million global against a $42 million budget.<\/p>\n In third is the sole newcomer to the top 5, Universal\u2019s \u201cNobody 2,\u201d the sequel to the Bob Odenkirk action comedy that was one of the first films to hit theaters when they reopened in 2021. While that film opened to $6.8 million, \u201cNobody 2\u201d hasn\u2019t significantly expanded the fanbase, opening to $9.25 million.<\/p>\n While not as well received as its predecessor, \u201cNobody 2\u201d has earned generally positive reception with a B+ on CinemaScore and Rotten Tomatoes scores of 78% critics and 89% audience. With a $25 million budget, it faces a relatively low break-even point as it looks to top the $57.5 million global total of the first \u201cNobody.\u201d<\/p>\n In fourth is Marvel Studios\u2019 \u201cThe Fantastic Four: First Steps,\u201d which continues to run out of fuel much faster than its $117.6 million opening had suggested with a fourth weekend total of just $8.8 million.<\/p>\n With a domestic total of $247 million and a global total of $468 million, it has passed the $415 million total of \u201cCaptain America: Civil War\u201d to become Marvel\u2019s top grossing film this year. But that total is well short of the last two Marvel summer films \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3\u201d ($845.5 million) and \u201cDeadpool & Wolverine\u201d ($1.33 billion), not to mention the $594.5 million global total of \u201cSuperman.\u201d<\/p>\n Universal\/DreamWorks\u2019 \u201cThe Bad Guys 2\u201d completes the top 5 with $6.9 million in its third weekend, bringing its total to $56 million domestic as it remains relatively on par with the $57.3 million three-weekend total of the first \u201cBad Guys.\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, Lionsgate released Sydney Sweeney\u2019s latest film \u201cAmericana\u201d in 1,146 locations, where despite Sweeney\u2019s recent headlines for her American Eagle jeans ads, it went largely ignored with just $500,000 grossed from 1,146 locations. By comparison, A24 released Spike Lee\u2019s latest film \u201cHighest 2 Lowest\u201d in 220 theaters this weekend ahead of a September 5 Apple TV+ release and grossed $894,000 for a $4,062 average, compared to roughly $460 for \u201cAmericana.\u201d<\/p>\n More to come\u2026<\/p>\n The post \u2018Weapons\u2019 Still Roaring at Box Office With $25 Million Second Weekend<\/a> appeared first on TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source ca.news.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With the summer box office winding down, Warner Bros.\/New Line\u2019s \u201cWeapons\u201d remains atop the charts with a very impressive $25 million second weekend.
