The long-anticipated continuation of the “Ghostbusters” saga, Ghostbusters: Afterlife wrested the top of the box-office weekend from Marvel’s Eternals by a $33.2 million margin.
Meanwhile, the ever-present Venom: Let There Be Carnage dropped one spot to finish in sixth place with $2.8 million. The film claims the highest overall total of any film currently in the top ten with $206.5 million over eight weeks. Agent 007 finished in seventh place with No Time To Die, after dropping from fourth with $2.7 million over the weekend. This gives Daniel Craig’s final film in the series a total of $154.7 million. Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch pulled in $970,000 in its fifth week of release, which was good enough to land the film in the eighth spot and lift its overall total to $13.3 million. Also falling one spot was Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast, which finished in ninth place this weekend adding $940,000 to give it a two-week total of $3.4 million. Finally, the animated Ron’s Gone Wrong did enough right to bring in $888,000 over the weekend, allowing it to finish in the final spot of this weekend’s top ten. The film now boasts a five-week total of $22.1 million.
As happened last week, two films again departed the weekend box-office top ten. Spencer abdicates with a three-week total of $6.1 million while the horror film Antlers departs after amassing $10.3 million over its first four weeks in release.
