Box-Office Weekend: Beetlejuice Bests Everyone
A new film sits atop the box-office weekend top ten as Beetlejuice Beetlejuice decimated the competition, claiming the crown by a margin of $102.8 million.
In its first weekend of release, the Warner Bros. product Beetlejuice Beetlejuice debuted in first place with $110.0 million over the course of its first few days in release. This was more than enough to push last weekend’s top film, Deadpool & Wolverine to second place where it earned $7.2 million in its seventh weekend of release, giving the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures offering an overall total of $614.0 million to date. Climbing one spot to finish in third this weekend was Reagan, which added $5.2 million over the last three days to lift its two-week tally to $18.5 million. Meanwhile, last weekend’s second-place film, Alien: Romulus fell two spots to a fourth-place finish where it added $3.9 million, to lift the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures product’s four-week total to $97.2 million. Sony Pictures Releasing’s It Ends with Us similarly dropped two spots this weekend to finish in fifth place with $3.8 million. This brings the film’s five-week total to $141.4 million.
In its third weekend of release, Affirm Films’ The Forge managed to climb a spot to claim sixth place this weekend with $2.9 million, raising the film’s overall total to $20.8 million. Universal Pictures, however, saw Twisters fall two places to finish in seventh this weekend where it brought in $2.3 million, giving the film an eight-week total of $264.6 million. After finishing in sixth place last weekend, Blink Twice also fell two spots to land in eighth-place this weekend where it added $2.1 million, to bring its overall total to $20.3 million. Only dropping one spot this weekend, Despicable Me 4 claimed ninth-place with $1.8 million, giving the Universal Pictures product a ten-week tally of $357.9 million. The second debut of the weekend, A24’s The Front Room claimed tenth place with $1.7 million taken in over its first three days in release.
Two films were pushed from the weekend box office over the last three days as last weekend’s ninth- and tenth-place entries both succumbed to new arrivals. After two weeks in release, Afraid leaves the top ten with $6.3 million taken in for Sony Pictures Releasing. Finally, after thirteen weeks, and amassing a total of $651.9 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, Inside Out 2 departs the top ten after finishing in the tenth spot last weekend.
