“Weapons” recaptured the top spot at the box office after briefly losing the crown to a Netflix movie, grossing $12.78 million over the four-day holiday weekend to lead all films in North America, according to industry estimates today.
After spending its first two weeks atop the chart, the Warner Bros. horror film — which stars Julia Garner and Josh Brolin — slipped behind “KPop Demon Hunters” last weekend, when the streaming service released the popular animated musical to theaters for a special two-day engagement.
Second place this weekend went to a 50th anniversary re-release of “Jaws,” which grossed $9.9 million Friday through Monday, Comscore reported.
Director Darren Aronofsky’s “Caught Stealing,” a crime thriller starring Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz, opened in third place with $9.6 million.
“Freakier Friday” was fourth with $8.3 million in its fourth weekend in theaters, followed by “The Roses,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, which opened with $8 million through Monday.
Rounding out the top 10 domestic releases were “Fantastic Four: First Steps” ($6.3 million), “The Bad Guys 2” ($6.2 million), “Superman” ($3.2 million), “Nobody 2” ($2.4 million) and “The Naked Gun” ($2.3 million).
This weekend’s overall four-day box office haul was estimated at $82.9 million. The year-to-date total is $5.995 billion — up 4.3% from the figure at this time last year, according to Comscore.
