Box-Office Weekend: Eternals Buries Dune

Marvel returned to the top of the box-office weekend with a vengeance as Eternals debuted atop the leaderboard a full $63.4 million ahead of its closest competition.

The latest offering from Marvel Studios has $71 million to show for its opening weekend. Meanwhile, last week’s top film, Dune: Part One finished in second place with $7.6 million. The film now sports a three-week total of $83.9 million. Agent 007 held onto third place adding $6.2 million to the domestic total for No Time To Die, which now stands at $143.2 million over five weeks. Climbing one spot, from fifth to fourth, was the sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which added $4.5 million over the weekend to give the film a six-week total of $197 million.

The family-friendly Ron’s Gone Wrong also scaled a few spots in the top ten, climbing from eighth to fifth place this weekend as it added $3.6 million to give it a three-week total of $17.6 million. Leaping from the tenth spot last weekend to sixth place this weekend was Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch, which managed to lure in $2.6 million over the weekend to give the film a three-week tally of $8.5 million. Plummeting from second-place last to seventh this weekend was the horror film Halloween Kills, which added $2.4 million over the weekend to give it a four-week total of $89.7 million.

Debuting in the eighth spot this weekend was the biographical Spencer, starring Kristen Stewart as Lady Diana. The film managed to bring in $2.1 million in its first weekend of release. Meanwhile, the horror film Antlers made only $2.0 million over the weekend, knocking it from seventh place to ninth and leaving it with a two-week total of $7.6 million. Finally, Last Night in Soho dropped from sixth to tenth place after earning $1.8 million this weekend, giving the film a two-week total of $7.6 million.

Over the past two days, two films took leave of the top ten of the weekend box office. Boku no Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission departs with a two-week total of $9.8 million after finishing in fourth place last weekend while the animated film The Addams Family 2 says goodbye to the top ten after a six-week run worth $54.9 million.
