Box Office Weekend

For a second straight week, Dune: Part One held the top spot of the box-office weekend, again, besting Halloween Kills by almost double.

Dune took in $15.5 million in its second week of release. This gives the sci-fi film a two-week total of $69.4 million. In second, Halloween Kills made $8.5 million during its third weekend, to give it a total of $85.6 million so far. Also, holding firm in the same spot as last week was the latest James Bond film, No Time to Die, which added $7.8 million over the weekend to give the film a four-week tally of $133.3 million. Meanwhile, the anime action-adventure film Boku no Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission debuted in the fourth spot of this week’s top ten with an inaugural weekend of $6.4 million.

This knocked Venom: Let There Be Carnage to the fifth spot of this week’s list as it added $5.8 million to give the film a five-week total of $190.4 million. In sixth place was the second of three films debuting in the top ten this week – Last Night in Soho. The thriller brought in $4.2 million in its first weekend of release. The horror film Antlers debuted in the seventh spot of this week’s list also earning $4.2 million.

Falling from the fifth to the eighth spot this weekend was the animated family-film Ron’s Gone Wrong, which added $3.8 million over the weekend to give it a two-week total of $12.6 million. Also, falling a few spots this weekend, was The Addams Family 2, which took in $3.3 million to finish in ninth place, while sporting a five-week tally of $52.9 million. Finally, Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch dropped one spot to finish in tenth place in its second week of release. The $2.8 million the film brought in over the weekend raises its overall total to $4.6 million.

Three films again fell out of the weekend box office top ten. The Last Duel leaves with a three-week total of $10.1 million. Meanwhile, the Marvel film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings departs after nine weeks in the top ten, amassing a total of $222.8 million.
