“ Weapons ” closes the summer box office with $ 12.9 million on the weekend of the Labor Day
The Labor Day marks on the last day of the summer box office season, which comes out on a groan while “the weapons” of Warner Bros./New Line take the number 1 of its fourth weekend with $ 12.9 million over four days.
Although it lost room 1 last weekend against a two-day limited commitment of Netflix’s “Hunters of Demon K-Pop”, “Weapons” continued its strong race with 134 million national dollars and 234 million dollars worldwide. On Friday, another new line horror film, “The Conjuring: Last Rites”, will try to make the story in the eighth consecutive version of Warner to obtain an opening of $ 40 million.
“Weapons” is the only film to win more than $ 10 million during this prolonged weekend, because overall totals dropped approximately 28% from last year to only $ 81.5 million. Aside from 2020 and 2022, the first being during the Pandemic COVID-19, it is the lowest total of the weekend of the Labor Day recorded in the past 30 years.
Further in the graphics, the reissue of the 50th anniversary of Universal of “Jaws” takes place n ° 2 with a total of $ 9.8 million to 4 days which exceeds two new releases: the “steering wheel” from Sony to Jay Roach.
“The flight taken”, which has gained an interior opening of $ 9.6 million with $ 5.4 million abroad, will probably need post-theater income to turn a profit compared to its net net budget of $ 40 million. The crime thriller with Austin Butler was generally welcomed with rotten scores of 84% criticism and 85% of audiences, but will have to broadcast his mouth against IP films like “Conjuring” and “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” in the coming weeks.
“The Roses” won an opening of $ 8 million over 4 days, in accordance with pre-liberation follow-up and just behind the fourth weekend of $ 8.3 million from the “Freakier Friday” of Disney. The black comedy featuring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman is a remake of the 1989 film “The War of the Roses” and received mixed to positive criticism with a 65%RT partition.
