As it did last weekend, Smile again finished on top of the box-office weekend. Although it’s $6.1 million margin of victory this weekend was considerably less than the $14.7 million of seven days ago.
The horror film Smile added $17.6 million over the weekend to raise its two-week total to $49.9 million. Meanwhile, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile debuted in second place with $11.5 million, just $6.1 million behind Smile. The second of three debuts on the top ten this weekend, Amsterdam finished in third place with $6.5 million, just $5 million behind Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile. Last weekend’s third-place film, The Woman King dropped a spot to finish in fourth-place this weekend with $5.3 million. This gives the film a four-week total of $54.1 million. After finishing in second-place last weekend, Don’t Worry Darling fell three spots to land in fifth place with $3.5 million over the weekend. The film now lays claim to a three-week total of $38.5 million.
This pushed the re-release of Avatar from fifth to sixth place as the film added $2.6 million to lift its three-week re-release total to $23.3 million. Meanwhile, Barbarian held steady in seventh place with $2.18 million earned over the weekend. This brings the film’s five-week total to $36.5 million. Bros dropped from fourth to eighth place, taking in $2.15 million over the weekend. The film now holds a two-week tally of $8.9 million. The horror film Terrifier 2 managed to creep into the top ten and finish in ninth place by bringing in $825,000 in its debut over the weekend. Finally, holding steady in the tenth spot this weekend, and adding $800,000 to bring its twenty-week total to a staggering $714.7 million was Top Gun: Maverick.
Again, three films were thrust from the top ten. In only its second week of release, Ponniyin Selvan: Part One failed to climb back into the top ten, yet still laid claim to a two-week tally of $4.3 million. After ten weeks, Bullet Train from Sony Pictures Entertainment, leaves with an overall total of $102.4 million. Finally, Warner Bros. can’t be too disappointed with DC League of Super-Pets amassing $92.5 million over eleven weeks before taking leave of the top ten.
