“The Conjuring: Last Rites,” the latest in the popular horror film franchise about a couple of real-life paranormal investigators, debuted atop the North American box office with a whopping $83 million in ticket sales, industry estimates showed Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Warner Bros. film once again stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren, who this time are doing battle with a demon in a family’s home.<\/p>\n
“This is a smash,” said analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. “Horror fans can’t get enough of Lorraine and Ed Warren.”<\/p>\n
In second place was Disney’s film version of the hit Broadway musical “Hamilton,” which earned a respectable $10 million, according to Exhibitor Relations — despite being available on its streaming channel in 2020.<\/p>\n
Gross called it an “excellent number,” considering the film is widely available to Disney+ subscribers.<\/p>\n
Buzzy horror flick “Weapons” — one of the success stories of the summer box office, about the mysterious disappearance of a group of children from the same school class — came in third at $5.4 million.<\/p>\n
“Weapons” has so far made $143 million in the United States and Canada, and another $108 million abroad, according to Exhibitor Relations.<\/p>\n
Disney’s “Freakier Friday,” the much-anticipated sequel to the 2003 body-swapping family film which again stars Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, finished in fourth place at $3.8 million.<\/p>\n
And “Caught Stealing,” a crime flick from Sony starring Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz, dropped to fifth place at $3.2 million.<\/p>\n
Rounding out the top 10 were:<\/p>\n
“The Roses” ($2.8 million)<\/p>\n
“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” ($2.75 million)<\/p>\n
“The Bad Guys 2” ($2.5 million)<\/p>\n
“Light of the World” ($2.4 million)<\/p>\n
“Superman” ($1 million)<\/p>\n
