In its second weekend of release, Deadpool & Wolverine remained on top of the top ten over the box-office weekend bringing in $97.0 million over the last three days. This raises the film’s overall total to $395.6 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Meanwhile, Twisters held onto second place with $22.7 million earned over the weekend for Universal Pictures, bringing the film’s three-week total to $195.6 million. The Warner Bros. debut, Trap landed in third place with $15.6 million. This pushed Despicable Me 4 to fourth place when it added $11.3 million to bring its five-week total to $314.0 million for Universal Pictures. The Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures offering Inside Out 2 meanwhile fell to fifth place where it added $6.7 million, raising its eight-week tally to $626.9 million.

Debuting in sixth place was the Columbia Pictures product Harold and the Purple Crayon with $6.0 million. Meanwhile, Longlegs dropped from fifth- to seventh-place where it brought in $4.1 million in its fourth weekend of release to lift its overall total to $66.9 million. The third debut of the weekend, Atlas Distribution Company’s The Firing Squad landed in eighth place with $1.6 million over the weekend. In its sixth weekend of release, Paramount Pictures’ A Quiet Place: Day One added $1.4 million, which landed it in ninth place and raised its overall total to $137.4 million. Finally, the Fathom Event release of Ponyo in conjunction with Studio Ghibli Fest 2024 took in $800,000 over the weekend, which was sufficient enough to land the film in tenth place.

Four films were forced from the box-office weekend as last weekend’s seventh- thru tenth-place films were replaced this weekend by four new entries. After nine weeks, Bad Boys: Ride or Die drops from the top ten leaving Sony Pictures Releasing $192.9 million richer. In two weeks, Bleecker Street Media enjoyed a $2.3 million return on The Fabulous Four. Meanwhile, Columbia Pictures saw $20.0 million generated over the last four weeks by Fly Me to the Moon. Finally, after one week in release, Raayan succeeded in bringing in $453,000 before dropping from the top ten.
