A new film stands atop the box-office weekend as Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another debuted $8.7 million ahead of its nearest competition.

“ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER” posterIn its first weekend of release, the Warner Bros. release of One Battle After Another took in $22.4 million to claim the top spot over its initial box-office weekend. Meanwhile, Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie grabbed second place for Universal Pictures International with $13.7 million. These debuts pushed last weekend’s top film, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle to third place where it added $7.1 million to lift its three-week total to $118.2 million for Sony Pictures Releasing. Meanwhile,, Warner Bros. saw The Conjuring: Last Rites fall from third to fourth place where it took in $6.9 million for the studio to bring its four-week total too $161.5 million. Lionsgate saw The Strangers: Chapter 2 open in fifth place where it made $5.9 million over the weekend.

Plummeting from a second-place finish last weekend to sixth place this week, the Universal Pictures International release Him added $3.7 million to raise the film’s two-week tally to $20.8 million. Dropping two spots, the Lionsgate release of The Long Walk picked up $3.4 million in a seventh-place finish as it brought its three-week total to $28.8 million for the studio. Falling four spots to eight place, the Focus Features release Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale made $3.3 million in its third week of release to bring its overall total to $38.9 million. Ninth place was claimed by the Fathom re-release of the Sam Raimi “Spider-Man Trilogy” (featuring Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, and Spider-Man 3) which brought in a total of $2.3 million. Finally, last weekend’s sixth-place film, A Big Bold beautiful Journey dropped four spots to take over tenth place this weekend with $1.3 million. This gives the Sony Pictures Releasing product a two-week total of $5.9 million.

Again, four films failed to repeat in the top ten this weekend as last week’s seventh- through tenth-place films all dropped from this weekend’s list. After two weeks in release, The Senior managed to bring in $4.5 million for Angel Studios. Meanwhile, the 2025 re-release of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures’ Toy Story made $6.6 million for the studio over the last three weeks. After finishing in ninth place last weekend, where it made $1.38 million, Sight & Sound Presents: NOAH Live failed to crack this weekend’s top ten. Finally, after eight weeks in release, the Warner Bros. release of
Weapons has made the studio a total of $150.7 million.
