With the summer box office winding down, Warner Bros./New Line’s “Weapons” remains atop the charts with a very impressive $25 million second weekend.
While not the spectacular 3% second weekend drop of fellow Warner horror hit “Sinners” this past spring, it is still just a 43% drop from the $43.5 million opening for director Zach Cregger’s second feature film. It now stands with an $89 million domestic total and $148.8 million worldwide.
Disney’s “Freakier Friday” 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.
In third is the sole newcomer to the top 5, Universal’s “Nobody 2,” 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, “Nobody 2” hasn’t significantly expanded the fanbase, opening to $9.25 million.
