‘Weapons' holds its ground as horror fans keep coming back for more
LOS ANGELES, Aug 18 — Buzzy horror film Weapons won the North American box office for a second week running with US$25 million in ticket sales, industry estimates showed Sunday. The Warner Bros. movie starring Julia Garner (Ozark) and Josh Brolin (Avengers: Infinity War) tells the story of the mysterious disappearance of a group of children from the same school class. Analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research called it a 'strong' week-two performance, especially in a quiet summer weekend at the movies in the United States and Canada. Holding in second place was Disney's Freakier Friday starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2003 body-swapping family film, at US$14.5 million, Exhibitor Relations said. Debuting in third place was Universal action sequel Nobody 2, starring Bob Odenkirk of Better Call Saul fame, at US$9.3 million. 'Critics like this story about a workaholic assassin trying to take a vacation with his family while getting caught up in trouble. Reviews and audience scores are both very good,' Gross said. The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Disney's reboot of the Marvel Comics franchise, dropped to fourth place at US$8.8 million. Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Emmy winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach star as the titular team of superheroes, who must save a retro-futuristic world from the evil Galactus. Universal's family-friendly animation sequel The Bad Guys 2, about a squad of goofy animal criminals actually doing good in their rebranded lives, dropped to fifth, earning US$7.5 million. Rounding out the top 10 were: Superman (US$5.3 million) The Naked Gun (US$4.8 million) Jurassic World: Rebirth (US$2.9 million) F1: The Movie (US$2.7 million) Coolie (US$2.4 million) — AFP

Weapons tops North American box office for second consecutive week
LOS ANGELES: Horror thriller Weapons has secured the top spot at the North American box office for the second consecutive weekend with $25 million in ticket sales. The Warner Bros. production stars Julia Garner from Ozark and Josh Brolin of Avengers fame in a chilling tale about the unexplained vanishing of children from the same school class. Franchise Entertainment Research analyst David A. Gross described the film's performance as 'strong' given the typically slow summer movie season in the US and Canada. Disney's Freakier Friday, the long-awaited follow-up to the 2003 hit body-swap comedy, maintained second place with $14.5 million, reuniting Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. Universal's action sequel Nobody 2 debuted in third place with $9.3 million, featuring Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk as an assassin struggling to enjoy a family holiday. 'Critics like this story about a workaholic assassin trying to take a vacation with his family while getting caught up in trouble,' Gross noted. Disney's The Fantastic Four: First Steps slipped to fourth place with $8.8 million, showcasing Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby as Marvel's iconic superheroes battling Galactus. Universal's animated sequel The Bad Guys 2 dropped to fifth with $7.5 million, continuing the adventures of reformed animal criminals doing good deeds.
