- Weapons (review)- $42M
Warner Bros. has a hit on its hands with Zach Cregger’s Weapons. The writing was on the wall when the horror-thriller was Fandango’s second-largest ticket preseller of 2025, only trailing behind Sinners, which did fairly well, as you might recall. Cregger’s follow-up to the buzzy horror Barbarian has already surpassed that 2022 film’s final tally of $45M. Weapons has $70 worldwide, and a 95% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes, with an audience score of 88%. The long-term future looks pretty good for this film and for Cregger’s career, which will see him rebooting Resident Evil next. Personally, I loved it and can’t wait to see it again with some buddies.
2. Freakier Friday (review)- $29M
Disney’s Freakier Friday reunited Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, resulting in a $29M debut. That’s good enough to be the top opening weekend for a live-action comedy this year, but it could be seen as a disappointment. The 2003 Freaky Friday earned $160M globally and became a Disney favorite that had fans clamoring for a sequel. Perhaps it was too long a wait? Critically, the film has a 73% score on RT, but audiences loved it a lot more at 93%. I enjoyed it, considering this was clearly not a movie made for guys like me. My guess is that a lot of people realize this will be on Disney+ sooner rather than later and have decided to wait. Worldwide, Freakier Friday has scored $44.5M.
3. The Fantastic Four: First Steps– $15.5M/$230.4M
It was another hefty 60% fall for Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Despite the hot start, this one is sinking so fast you’d think Mole Man had dug a tunnel underneath it. Worldwide, it sits at $434M, which is solid but unspectacular.
4. The Bad Guys 2– $10.4M/$43.4M
5. The Naked Gun– $8.3M/$33M
6. Superman-$7.8M/$331.2M
At $331M, James Gunn’s Superman has surpassed the $330M domestic haul of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Globally, the DC Studios launcher has $578M.
7. Jurassic World: Rebirth– $4.7M/$326.8M
8. F1: The Movie– $2.8M/$178.5M
Warner Bros.’ third movie in the top ten, F1: The Movie, has $570 after seven weeks and keeps on circling the track.
9. Together– $2.6M/$17.2M
NEON’s second week of the body horror Together clearly suffered from the overwhelming presence of Weapons, falling 61% for just $2.6M and a $17M total.
10. Sketch– $2.5M/$5M
Strong reviews and an early Wednesday release helped the Tony Hale/D’arcy Carden fantasy comedy Sketch to an impressive $5M debut. The film about monsters from a child’s sketch book coming to life has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics and 83% from audiences.
Also…Magnolia Pictures released the documentary It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley (review) into 125 locations and earned $400K. The latest doc from Amy Berg premiered to great acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival and currently holds a 100% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
