Yet again, a new film adorns the top spot of the box-office weekend as Scary Movie beat out the second debut of the weekend by $25.7 million to claim first place of this weekend’s top ten.
Paramount Pictures enjoyed a $55.0 million debut for its reboot of the “Scary Movie” franchise appropriately titled Scary Movie. This proved more than enough to best the debut of Masters of the Universe which took in $29.3 million for Amazon MGM Studios over the weekend. Meanwhile, last weekend’s top film, Backrooms found itself pushed down to third where it added $25.9 million to lift its two-week total to $135.1 million for A24. Similarly, Focus Features found its Obsession down two spots in fourth place where it brought in $25.6 million to bring its four-week total to $152.1 million. The final debut of the weekend belonged to The Amazing Digital Circus: The last Act, which made $11.6 million over the weekend, giving the film a fifth-place finish.
During its third weekend in release Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu took in $10.0 million, despite founding itself dropped to sixth place over the weekend. The film now lays claims a three-week tally of $155.8 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Meanwhile, Lionsgate also saw its Michael, also drop three spots to seventh place where it took in $7.7 million for the studio, bringing the film’s seven-week total to $354.3 million. Also falling three spots from last weekend, The Breadwinner landed in eighth place this week, where it made $3.4 million for the studio. Focus Features saw Pressure also fall just two spots to claim ninth place with $3.0 million, giving the film a two-week total of $11.2 million. Finally, in its sixth weekend of release, The Devil Wears Prada 2 dropped four spots to finish in tenth place this week, where it added $2.8 million over the weekend to lift its six-week total to $215.1 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
For yet another consecutive weekend, the bottom three films from last weekend’s top ten were pushed out of this week’s list be newcomers. After five weeks in release, The Sheep Detectives has herded a total of $59.4 million for Amazon MGM Studios, but the film couldn’t repeat its eighth-place finish a week ago. Paramount Pictures saw Passenger bring in $17.4 million during its first three weeks in release before bowing out of the top ten altogether. Finally, with a five-week total of $79.1 million, Mortal Kombat II probably didn’t thrill Warner Bros. when it fell out of the top ten this weekend as well after a tenth-place finish seven days ago.
