'Weapons' fights back to top of N. American box office
Buzzy horror flick "Weapons" returned to the top of the North American box office in its fourth week of release, earning $12.4 million over the Labor Day holiday weekend, industry estimates showed Sunday.
The Warner Bros. movie, starring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin, tells the story of the mysterious disappearance of a group of children from the same school class.
"Weapons," which briefly ceded the top spot to Netflix's animated hit "KPop Demon Hunters" last week, has so far made $134.6 million in the United States and Canada, according to Exhibitor Relations.
In second place was the 50th anniversary re-release of Universal's summer shark thriller "Jaws," making $9.8 million over the Friday-to-Monday period.
"Doing this kind of business, 50 years after the original release, is impressive," said analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research.
"Caught Stealing," a crime flick from Sony starring Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz, debuted in third place at $9.5 million.
Disney's "Freakier Friday," the much-anticipated sequel to the 2003 body-swapping family film which again stars Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, came in fourth at $8.3 million.
And in fifth place was Searchlight's "The Roses," a remake of the 1989 dark comedy "The War of the Roses" starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, at $8 million.
This time, Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman play the couple whose marriage descends into resentment.
Rounding out the top 10 were:
"The Bad Guys 2" ($6.2 million)
"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" ($6 million)
"Superman" ($3.3 million)
"Nobody 2" ($2.4 million)
"The Naked Gun" ($2.25 million)
