In its first three days of release, Project Hail Mary dominated the box-office weekend by a margin of $62.6 million, easily wresting first place away from Hoppers.
The latest film starring Ryan Gosling, Project Hail Mary, debuted atop the box-office weekend top ten with a $80.6 million opening weekend for Amazon MGM Studios. This easily bested last weekend’s top film, Hoppers, which was pushed to second place where it took in $18.0 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, lifting its three-week total to $120.4 million. Meanwhile, the Moviegoers Entertainment release Dhurandhar The Revenge debuted in third place bringing in $9.6 million. Searchlight Pictures saw its Ready or Not 2: Here I Come claim fourth place with $9.1 million over the course of its opening weekend. Last weekend’s second-place film, Reminders of Him, fell to fifth place this weekend where it added $8.0 million to lift the Universal Pictures product’s two-week total to $33.2 million.
Falling two spots to land in sixth place this weekend, Scream 7 made $4.3 million for Paramount Pictures International as the film’s four-week total increased to $114.5 million. In its sixth week of release, the Sony Pictures Releasing product GOAT sports an overall total of $97.5 million, but could only manage $3.5 million this weekend, which dropped it two spaces down to seventh place. After a debut in third place last weekend, A24’s Undertone plummeted to eighth place this weekend where it took in $3.0 million, giving it a two-week total of $15.2 million. Dropping one spot from last weekend to claim eighth place, Wuthering Heights brought in $475,000 for Warner Bros., lifting the film’s six-week total to $83.3 million. Finally, after a brief absence from the top ten, Avatar: Fire and Ash crept back into tenth place with $280,000 earned over the weekend. This gives the 20th Century Studios release a fourteen-week total of $403.9 million.
Again, four films were forced from the box-office weekend top ten. After a sixth-place finish last weekend, IMAX’s The Bride! could not sustain the momentum and dropped from this weekend’s list with a three-week total of $12.5 million. Meanwhile, Kiki’s Delivery Service failed to repeat is seventh-place finish last weekend and was forced to settle for a seven-day total of $2.2 million. During its three-day re-release, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze managed to earn $1.5 million. Finally, with five weeks under its belt, Crime 101 drops from the top ten sporting an overall total of $35.6 million.
