Box-Office Weekend: Spider-Man Reclaims Crown
After being pushed from the top of the box-office last weekend, Spider-Man: No Way Home reclaimed the number one spot from Scream by a mere $1.7 million.
Although Spider-Man: No Way Home finished with $14.1 million, it was still enough to best Scream and knock last week’s top film to second place. No Way Home now boasts a six-week total of $721.0 million and has moved ahead of Black Panther to become the fourth top grossing domestic film of all time. The Marvel juggernaut is now around $39 million shy of catching 1990’s Avatar. Despite falling to second place, Scream still landed $12.4 million over the weekend to lift the film’s two-week total to $51.3 million. Holding steady in the third spot of the weekend was the animated musical Sing 2 which added $5.7 million to give the film a five-week total of $128.4 million. The first of two debuts in the top ten this weekend, the romance Redeeming Love took in $3.7 million in its first week of release. Meanwhile, The King’s Man held firm in fifth place with $1.8 million over the weekend. This gives the latest film in the “Kingsmen” series a five-week total of $31.5 million.
Falling two spots to finish in sixth place was the action/adventure film The 355, which managed to take in $1.6 million and boost its three-week total to $11.1 million. The Kurt Warner biography American Underdog held steady in the seventh spot adding $1.2 million to give the film a five-week total of $23.1 million. The second debut of the weekend, the action/adventure/romance The King’s Daughter (not to be confused with being part of the earlier discussed “Kingsmen” series), finished in eighth place with $750,000. Falling one spot to finish in ninth was the remake of West Side Story with $698,000, which gives the film a seven-week total of $35.1 million. And, finally, finishing in the tenth spot after claiming ninth place last weekend, Licorice Pizza added $683,000 to give the film a nine-week total of $10.8 million.
As two films crept into the box-office weekend top ten, last week’s fourth-place film, Ryû to sobakasu no hime (Belle) dropped from the list with a total of $2.7 million. After falling from the sixth to the tenth spot last weekend, The Matrix Resurrections could only muster $435,000 over the weekend and failed to make the top ten, leaving with what has to be a disappointing five-week total of $36.6 million.
