The Universal Pictures release Wicked: For Good debuted on top of the box-office weekend, taking over first place by an astonishing margin of $140.9 million.
Over the first three days of its release, Wicked: For Good brought in $150.0 million for Universal Studios. This was far more than was needed to unseat last weekend’s top film, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, which dropped to second place with $9.1 million. This brings the Lionsgate product’s two-week total to $36.8 million. Meanwhile, Predator: Badlands held steady in third place for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures with $6.3 million taken in during its third weekend of release, raising its overall total to $76.3 million. The Paramount Pictures International release, The Running Man, fell two spots to claim fourth place with $5.8 million over the weekend, giving the film a two-week total of $27.0 million. In fifth place, Searchlight Pictures saw Rental Family debut with $3.3 million.
Sony Pictures Releasing enjoyed a sixth-place debut for Sisu: Road to Revenge as the film took in $2.6 million during the last three days. Falling three spots was the Paramount Pictures International offering of Regretting You which landed in seventh place this week with $1.5 million after a fourth-place finish last weekend. This brings the film’s five-week total to $47.3 million. Dropping two spots on its way to an eighth-place finish this weekend was the Sony Pictures Classics release Nuremberg with $1.2 million, lifting the film’s three-week total to $11.0 million. Falling four spots to land in ninth place this weekend, the Universal Pictures product Black Phone 2 made $1.0 million for the studio, bringing it six-week total to $76.4 million. Finally, after an eighth-place finish last weekend, the Amazon MGM Studios release Sarah’s Oil dropped to tenth-place this week where it made just over $771,000 to raise it’s three-week total to $10.4 million.
Again, three films were pushed out of the box-office weekend top ten by newcomers. This weekend saw Neon’s Keeper drop from the top ten after landing in seventh place last weekend. The film departs with a two-week total of $3.9 million. Meanwhile, Sony Pictures Releasing has likely enjoyed the $42.5 million that Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc has made them over the last five weeks, even though the film couldn’t retain its ninth-place finish from last weekend. Finally, Focus Features saw Bugonia bring in a total of $16.9 million over the last five weeks as it dropped from the top ten this weekend as well.
