Weapons Domestic Box Office Update: Zach Cregger's blockbuster horror-comedy set to breach USD 100 million in 2 weeks flat
Weapons Is Set To Cross USD 100 Million At The Domestic Box Office In 2 Weeks Flat; Gallops Towards USD 200 Million Worldwide
Weapons was never seen as the year's dark horse at the box office, even when Cregger's last, Barbarian, grossed USD 45 million against a budget of under USD 5 million. It was always seen as a movie that would play with the horror movie buffs, but it was never expected to breakout to the level that it has. After an already exceptional first week, the movie dropped by under 45 percent in its second weekend. With legs getting even stronger, the movie is expected to end its domestic run with collections of around USD 160 - 170 million. The predictions are modest because another big horror movie, Conjuring 4, is almost up for release. Since both movies target the same audience, the collections may not reach USD 200 million.
Weapons is one of the biggest hits of Summer 2025, based on return on investments. The movie should motivate independent writers and directors to invest more time on story and screenplay because the results are directly proportional.
Freakier Friday Ends Up Being A Good Counter-Programmer For Exhibitors Alongside Weapons
Freakier Friday released alongside Weapons and it has ended up being a good counter-programming movie for the exhibitors. It recently crossed USD 50 million domestically and it heads for a finish in the USD 80 million range. On the global front, it should break into the USD 125 million club. Against a modest budget of USD 40-45 million, the teen-comedy is a hit at the box office as well.

Coolie Box Office Collections: Rajinikanth starrer is in a state of freefall on weekdays
Coolie is in a state of freefall at the Indian box office, with Wednesday registering yet another steep decline of over 25 per cent. The film collected around Rs. 7.25 crore on its seventh day, pushing its total to Rs. 255.50 crore approx. From a near record opening day of Rs. 75 crore, the collections have plummeted to less than 10 per cent of that figure within a week. The eight-day extended week is now expected to wrap around Rs. 260-261 crore. The film is also merely crawling overseas. Wednesday brought in just around USD 250K. At this pace, the film may struggle to cross USD 20 million in its full run, something that seemed a given after its weekend take of USD 16.75 million. The worldwide gross as of yesterday stands at Rs. 411 crore approx, with the Rs. 500 crore mark now out of reach. The Day Wise Box Office Collection of Coolie is as follows: Coolie opened with record-breaking numbers, delivering a massive extended weekend. The production costs, however, are just as massive, and so were the expectations, given the remarkable track record that director Lokesh has established in recent years. By Sunday, it was evident that those lofty expectations would not be fulfilled, though the film still seemed on course to emerge as a BIG HIT. That is no longer the case. The HIT status itself now looks doubtful. Although the gross numbers are at that level but it needed better, much better. The Territorial Breakdown for Coolie in India is as follows:

Freakier Friday Global Box Office: Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis' comedy hits big, driven by nostalgia and star power
Disney's Freakier Friday is turning out to be one of the most talked-about films of the summer. The long-awaited sequel to the 2003 classic is doing much better than expected at the box office. In just a few weeks, the Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis starrer has managed to win over both fans and critics, showing that audiences are still eager for feel-good, family-friendly stories. Freakier Friday Became A Success Story, Right When It Opened To Heartening Numbers In Its Opening Weekend In its opening weekend, Freakier Friday made around USD 28.5 million in North America. That number grew quickly. By August 20, it had reached around USD 56 million domestically and another USD 32 million from overseas markets, bringing its worldwide total to about USD 88 million. For a film made on a modest budget of USD 42 to 45 million, this is a strong success. It heads for a finish in the vicinity of USD 100 million in USA-Canada and the global gross should be to the north of USD 150 million. Why The Success Of Freakier Friday Is Impressive? What makes the film's performance even more impressive is the positive response from viewers. It received an 'A' grade from CinemaScore, which is even higher than the 'A-' given to the original film. This strong word-of-mouth is helping the movie sustain in theaters. In today's time and age, the pre-release reviews hold the power to break non-blockbusters like Freakier Friday. Luckily, the movie got good reviews that converted to the exceptional audience support that it is now getting. Weapons Makes Its Presence Amply Felt Against The The Nostalgia Sequel While Freakier Friday is drawing families and fans of the original, another film is dominating the horror space. Zach Cregger's Weapons has already passed USD 100 million in just two weeks at the domestic box office. It heads for a USD 160 million plus finish in just US-Canada. Still, Freakier Friday offers something different, a light-hearted escape that audiences seem to really appreciate. With strong numbers and lots of fan love, Freakier Friday is more than just a sequel. It's a true comeback story.
