After only one weekend in the top spot, Zootopia 2 was chased from number one by another sequel, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 by a $20.6 million margin.
The Universal Pictures International release of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 debuted in the top spot of the box-office weekend with $64.0 million. This was more than enough to displace last weekend’s top film, Zootopia 2, which made $43.4 for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures as it dropped to second place in its second weekend of release – despite sporting a two-week total of $221.0 million. Meanwhile, Wicked: For Good landed in third place where it added $17.4 million to raise its three-week total to $297.6 million for Universal Pictures. Fourth place saw the debut of the GKIDS release Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution which brought in $10.1 million over the weekend. This activity pushed Now You See Me: Now You Don’t from third to fifth where it took in $3.5 million, giving it a four-week total of $55.3 million.
Lionsgate enjoyed a sixth-place debut for the re-edited re-release of Quentin Tarantino’s epic Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, which took in $3.4 million for the studio. Meanwhile, A24’s Eternity fell from sixth to seventh place, where it made $2.7 million for the studio, bringing its two-week total to $9.6 million. Focus Features saw Hamnet hold steady in eighth place as it brought it $2.3 million in its second weekend of release, raising its overall total to $4.2 million. The Moviegoers Entertainment release Dhurandhar landed in ninth pace with a debut of $1.98 million over the weekend. Finally, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures watched as Predator: Badlands plummeted from fourth to tenth this weekend with $1.8 million added in its fifth week of release, giving the film an overall total of $88.3 million.
Four films again fell from the top ten this weekend. After bringing in $34.3 million for Paramount Pictures International over the last three weeks, The Running Man has run out of time in the top ten and leaves with an overall total of $36.6 million. Meanwhile, after two weeks in release, the Searchlight Pictures product Rental Family fell from the top ten with a cumulative total of $9.0 million. Sony Pictures Releasing saw Sisu: Road to Revenge bank a total of $4.5 million in three weeks before dropping out of the top ten. Finally, that same studio enjoyed a four-week total of $13.2 million for its Nuremberg.
