Box Office Weekend

Venom: The Last Dance laid claim to the top spot of the box-office weekend for the second week in a row as it took the throne by a margin of $18.5 million.

In its second weekend of release, the Sony Pictures Releasing product, Venom: The Last Dance brought in $26.1 million for the studio, lifting its overall total to $90 million. Meanwhile, last weekend’s third-place film, The Wild Robot climbed a spot to land in second place this week with $7.6 million, giving the film from Universal Pictures a six-week total of $121.5 million. This jump pushed Paramount Pictures’ Smile to third place where it brought in $6.8 million to bring the film’s three-week total to $53.7 million. Holding steady in fourth place was Focus Features’ Conclave with $5.3 million. This brings the film’s two-week total to $15.2 million. Sony Pictures Releasing also saw its Here debut in fifth place with $5.0 million over the last three days.

All of this activity pushed A24’s We Live in Time down to sixth place where it brought in $3.5 million in its fourth weekend of release to give it an overall total of $17.7 million. Cineverse saw Terrifier 3 fall from sixth- to seventh-place where it added $3.2 million to raise its four-week total to $50.5 million. In eighth place, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 debuted with $2.23 million over the weekend. This was just enough to best ninth-place Singham Again which took in $2.19 million over the course of its debut weekend. Finally, in its ninth-weekend in release, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice fell three spots to land in tenth place where it added $2.09 million to raise its to $292.1 million for Warner Bros. over the last nine weeks.

Again, this week, three films were forced from the weekend box office top ten as the final three films from last week all failed to crack the top ten this weekend. After three weeks, Neon’s Anora departs the top ten with $3.9 million in the bank. Meanwhile, Focus Features’ Piece by Piece leaves with a four-week total of $9.5 million. Finally, with a seven-week tally of $58.6 million, Paramount Pictures’ Transformers One says farewell to the top ten.
