Halloween Ends led the box-office weekend as it bested Smile by $28.9 million, sending the previous number one film to a very distant second-place finish.
The return of Michael Myers garnered an impressive $41.3 million in its opening weekend, allowing it finish in first place over the weekend. Last weekend’s top film, Smile was relegated to second place in its third week of release as it added $12.4 million to bring its overall total to $71.2 million. Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile also dropped a spot in its second weekend to finish in third place with $7.4 million. The film now claims a total of $22.8 million over its first two weeks in release. Holding firm in fourth place was The Woman King which added $3.7 million over the weekend to lift its five-week total to $59.7 million. Meanwhile, Amsterdam fell from third to finish in fifth place with $2.9 million. This gives the film a two-week total of $12.0 million.
Last weekend’s fifth-place film, Don’t Worry Darling, fell to sixth this weekend with $2.2 million, bringing the film’s four-week total to $42.4 million. This allowed Barbarian to hold onto seventh place with $1.4 million. The film now boasts a six-week total of $39.0 million. Similarly, Bros held its ground in the eighth spot with $920,000. This gives the film a three-week total of $10.8 million. Clinging onto the ninth spot was the horror film Terrifier 2 which added $850,000 over the weekend to bring its two-week tally to $2.3 million. Finally, Top Gun: Maverick held the final spot on the top ten with $685,000 over the weekend, bringing its overall total to $715.8 million, firmly ensconced as the fifth highest domestic gross of all time.
Only one film bowed out of the top ten this weekend as the re-release of Avatar ended with the film bringing in an additional $24.7 million during its three weeks back in theaters.
