Weapons are No. 1, the re -release of the new arrivals
The box office, welcome to the summer days. At the Slow weekend on Labor Day, a horror movie on the fourth weekend of its launch was the first rank while defeating two new newly -year -old new arrivals.
“Weapons”, after a brief disposal of the crown to “KPOP Demon Hunters”, regained the first place in North America with $ 10.2 million during the traditional weekend and estimated at $ 12.4 million until Monday. So far, the scary film has received $ 134.6 million locally and $ 250 million worldwide for a budget of $ 38 million. The success of the sleeping Zac Kurgger is the latest theatrical winner in Warner Bruce, who has suffered from a rock start for this year, but has since recovered with strikes such as “Minecraft”, “Singer” and “The Final”.
In second place, the fifty -anniversary release of “Jaws” raised $ 8.1 million from 3200 theaters during the weekend and about 9.8 million dollars until Monday. It turns out that the shark still has teeth. These ticket sales were higher than two new presentations for the main studios, which is the Sony Comedy for Crime, “The Roses”. “Jaws” is widely attributed to the launch of the summer Blockbuster, where its huge profits are aware of the attractiveness of films when children were out of school, as well as promotion opportunities that a flight adventure can create.
“The theft was caught,” directed by Darren Arenovsky, and starring Austin Berter and Zoe Kravitz, ranked 3 with $ 7.8 million during the traditional weekend and estimated at $ 9.5 million during the four -day holiday framework. It is a great start to the $ 40 million movie, about a waiter in New York City, who finds himself at the intersection of gangsters who threaten after agreeing to watch a neighbor cat. Although the reviews were positive (84 % on spoiled tomatoes), cinema pioneers were not enthusiastic and planted the film with “B” degree in cinema exit polls.
“This opening is a good thing,” says analyst David A. Gross from Research Entertainment Research. “There is a lot of excitement in crime, and this is not an easy sale after a summer collection of events.”
The fourth place went to Disney “Freakier Frown”, which is a complement to the 2003 body switching for the year 2003, “Freaky Frdy”, which earned $ 6.5 million during the weekend and $ 8.3 million during the four -day holiday. The local total should reach a little more than 80 million dollars, and the global range will reach $ 130 million during Labor Day.
Meanwhile, “The Roses” appeared for the first time in fifth place with $ 6.4 million during the weekend and an estimated $ 8 million during the Labor Day. It was directed by Jay Roche and based on the 1981 novel “War of Roses”, the story apparently follows a perfect couple with dangerous cracks in the relationship. Benedict Komberbach, Olivia Coleman is led by the team of actors alongside Andy Samberg, Alison Jani and Kate McCainon. Critics did not like the movie (64 % on spoiled tomatoes), but the fans looked, as the “roses” B+gave Cinemascore.
“This is a soft start,” says Gross. “These days, a version like this will quickly end on its way to the additional additional work, again, driven by the quality of the quality crew.”
Maybe I felt excessively. The “War of Roses” was already in the 1989 movie with Michael Douglas, Cathlein Turner and Danny Devito. Unlike “roses”, it was a great success, with $ 160 million – a huge amount at the time.
The work day is not known to fill in the crowds in movies, so it is not surprising that this weekend is among the best of the year. In general, the four -day expansion brought about 86 million dollars, a 19 % decrease from last year’s holiday, which was supported by the movie “Deadpool and Wolverine” in Marvel. The summer season officially ended with local revenues of $ 3.67 billion, a decrease of 0.2 % from 2024 and 10.2 % behind 2023, according to COMSCORE. This is a disappointing news for work, which I believed that this crop of sequences, excessive adventures and extraordinary adventures will be sufficient to pay ticket sales to 4 billion dollars.
Better luck next summer.
