The Warner Bros. product now sports a four-week total of $164.7 million. Debuting in second place was Night Swim from Universal Pictures International with $12.0 million. This pushed Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom down a spot where it finished in third place with $10.6 million over the weekend. This gives the Warner Bros. film a three-week total of $100.0 million. Meanwhile, the Universal Pictures product Migration landed in fourth place where it added $10.3 million over the weekend, lifting its three-week total to $77.8 million. Holding its ground and finishing in fifth place over the weekend was Anyone But You with $9.5 million. This gives the Columbia Pictures offering a three-week tally of $43.7 million.
Similarly holding steady in sixth place was the George Clooney film, The Boys in the Boat which again landed in sixth place where it brought in $6.0 million, giving it a two-week tally of $33.9 million. Falling three spots to land in seventh-place this weekend as The Color Purple with $4.8 million. This gives the Warner Bros. film a two-week total of $54.6 million. Also sliding down a spot was The Iron Claw which finished in eighth-place this weekend with $3.9 million, giving the A24 film a three-week total of $24.3 million. After finishing in eighth-place last weekend, Ferrari fell to ninth this weekend where it added $2.5 million to bring its two-week total to $16.0 million for Neon. Finally, after falling out of the top ten last weekend, Poor Things crept back into the top ten, finishing in the final spot where it added $2.0 million, bringing the film’s five-week total to $14.2 million for Searchlight Pictures.
The last three days witnessed two films being forced from the box-office weekend top ten. After eight weeks, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes leaves the top ten with a total of $163.8 million brought in for Lionsgate Films. The GKIDS product, The Boy and the Heron, takes leave of the top ten after amassing $39.6 million for the studio.
