Box Office: ‘Weapons’ Holds Top Spot, ‘Nobody 2’ Debuts Below Expectations, ‘Americana’ Flops
Zach Cregger’s horror pic, “Weapons,” continues its dominant run at the box office, securing the No. 1 position for its second consecutive weekend. The film pulled in an estimated $25 million, demonstrating remarkable staying power with only a 42 percent drop from its opening.
Meanwhile, Bob Odenkirk’s action sequel, “Nobody 2,” opened to a respectable but slightly lower-than-expected $9.4 million, landing in third place domestically. Despite its modest $26 million production budget, Universal is confident the film will make up ground with an early premium VOD release.
Disney’s family comedy “Freakier Friday,” starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, also performed strongly in its sophomore outing, adding an estimated $14 million to $15 million. However, not all new releases found success. Lionsgate’s “Americana,” starring Sydney Sweeney, bombed in its nationwide debut, earning a dismal $840,000 for a sixteenth-place finish. Spike Lee’s prestige film “Highest 2 Lowest,” featuring Denzel Washington, saw a limited release before its anticipated move to Apple TV+.
