Box-Office Weekend: PROJECT HAIL MARY Doubles

Bringing in twenty million dollars less than last weekend, Project Hail Mary still held onto the number one spot of the box-office weekend top ten by a wide margin – $42.3 million.

In its second week of release, Project Hail Mary retained control of the box-office weekend top ten for Amazon MGM Studios, bringing in $54.5 million. This gives the film a two-week total of $164.3 million. This performance kept Hoppers in second place where it made $12.2 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, raising the film’s four-week total to $138.6 million. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. saw They Will Kill You debut in third place over the weekend with a showing of $5.0 million. Falling from third to fourth place this weekend, Dhurandhar The Revenge brought in $4.74 million, giving the Moviegoers Entertainment release a two-week total of $22.8 million. Holding its ground in fifth place, Reminders of Him took in $4.7 million for Universal Pictures, to lift its three-week total to $41.1 million.

Dropping two spots, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come claimed sixth place this weekend with $4.0 million taken in during its second weekend in release, bringing the film’s overall total to $16.3 million for Searchlight Pictures. This pushed Paramount Pictures International’s Scream 7 down a spot to seventh-place finish this weekend where it added $2.6 million to raise its five-week total to $118.7 million. Falling a spot, Sony Pictures Releasing’s GOAT landed in eighth place where it brought in $2.2 million for the studio, raising its seven-week total to $100.9 million. Also dropping a spot was A24’s Undertone, which took ninth place with $1.7 million, giving the film a three-week tally of $18.5 million. Finally, with $1.2 million to show for its weekend debut, Forbidden Fruits laid claim to tenth place over the weekend.

For a change of pace, only two films were forced from the box-office weekend top ten as last week’s ninth- and tenth-place finishers both dropped from this weekend’s list. After seven weeks in release, the Warner Bros. product, Wuthering Heights departs the top ten with a total to date of $83.9 million. Meanwhile, after creeping back into the top ten last weekend, 20th Century Studios’ Avatar: Fire and Ash dropped back out of the top ten, but not before bringing the film’s fifteen-week total to $404.2 million.
