Meanwhile, The Boy and the Heron fell from third to seventh where it added $3.154 million in its third week of release, bringing its total to $30.6 million for GKIDS. This was just enough to best The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes which brought in just $3.150 million, dropping it six spots to finish in eighth place. Still the film sports a six-week total of $149.3 million for Lionsgate Films.
