Box-Office Weekend: Beyoncé Takes Over
After two weeks on top of the box-office weekend, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes succumbed to newcomer Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé by $6.5 million to cede the number one spot this weekend.
With $21.0 million to show for its opening weekend, the concert film Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé took control of the weekend box office top ten. In second place, with $14.5 million, was The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Despite falling from the top spot this weekend, the film still sports a three-week total of $121.2 million. The second debut of the weekend, Godzilla Minus One landed in third place with $11.0 million to show for its opening weekend. Holding steady in fourth place was Trolls Band Together with $7.6 million. The Universal Pictures product now sports a three-week total of $74.8 million. Meanwhile, last weekend’s third-place film, Wish dropped to fifth place this weekend where it added $7.4 million to bring its two-week tally to $42.0 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
After debuting in second place last weekend, Napoleon dropped to sixth this weekend where it added $7.1 million for Columbia Pictures, bringing its two-week total to $45.7 million. The third film to debut in the top ten this weekend, Animal, claimed seventh place with $6.1 million over the course of its opening weekend. Angel Studios enjoyed the spoils of the fourth film to debut in the top ten as The Shift took eighth place with $4.4 million. The fifth, and final, debut of the weekend, Silent Night claimed ninth place with $3.0 million earned for Lionsgate Films over the weekend. After a fifth-place finish last weekend, Thanksgiving plummeted to the final spot of the top ten this weekend with $2.6 million. This gives the TriStar Pictures product a three-week total of $28.4 million.
This weekend, half of the top ten from last week were ousted from this weekend’s list as the sixth- through tenth-place films were all displaced. After four weeks in release, The Marvels leaves the top ten after bringing in a total of $80.7 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. With a six-week total of $15.1 million, Focus Features has a reason to be proud of the critical/commercial showing displayed by The Holdovers. Top ten mainstay Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour finally departs the list after amassing $178.8 million over the last eight weeks. Paramount Pictures has certainly enjoyed the $136.9 million that Five Nights at Freddy’s made them during the past six weeks. Finally, Saltburn leaves the top ten after bringing in $6.2 million for Warner Bros. over the last three weeks.
