For a second consecutive weekend, Avatar: Fire and Ash held onto the top spot of the box-office weekend top ten by a wide margin – $44 million to be exact.
Over the course of its second weekend of release, Avatar: Fire and Ash pulled in $64 million to retain the number one spot of this weekend’s top ten. The film now boasts an overall total of $217.7 million for 20th Century Studios. Meanwhile, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures saw Zootopia 2 jump three spots to take over second place with $20.0 million over the weekend. This brings the film’s five-week total to $321.4 million. Also jumping a considerable number of spaces this weekend was A24’s Marty Supreme which landed in third place with $15.6 million after a ninth-place debut last weekend. The film now sports a two-week total of $28.3 million. This activity pushed Lionsgate’s The Housemaid from third to fourth place where it brought in $15.4 million for the studio, lifting its two-week total to $46.5 million. Sony Pictures Releasing saw its Amaconda debut in fifth place with $14.6 million over the weekend (giving the film an overall tally of $23.7 million).
After a second-place finish last weekend, David dropped four spots to claim sixth place this weekend with $12.7 million taken in for Angel, bringing the film’s two-week total to $49.8 million. Falling three spots to land in seventh place this weekend, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants made an additional $11.2 million to bring the film’s two-week total to $33.2 million for Paramount Pictures International. The second debut of the weekend, Song Sung Blue, landed in eighth place with $7.6 million taken in for Focus Features – giving the film an overall tally of $12.0 million. Falling two spots to claim ninth place with $5.3 million, Wicked: For Good, lifted its six-week total to $331.6 million for Universal Pictures. Finally, after four weeks in release and amassing $119.1 million for Universal Pictures International, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 dropped three spots to finish in tenth place where it brought in $4.4 million for the studio.
Two films fell from the top ten this weekend as last weekend eighth- and tenth-place films both failed to secure a spot this week. After five weeks in release, and re-entering the top ten last weekend, Hamnet could not continue its momentum and the Focus Features product dropped out of the top ten with an overall total of $10.3 million. With three weeks in release, Dhurandhar departs the top ten with $8.6 million total earned.
