Frozen Empire opens higher than expected

As predicted, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has easily won the domestic box office this weekend, but it made a little more money than even Sony’s early predictions: It debuted to $45 million in the US, which is a nice big number compared to everything else. others on the charts, but it’s… not as nice or big compared to its predecessor’s debut, Ghostbusters: Afterlife. That one debuted with $44 million in November 2021, which was still when we were taking COVID-19 seriously, so Frozen Empire He’s going to need some serious legs to make an impact.

Dune: Part Two It remained in second place for the third week in a row (I’m here, I’m still here, amirite?), adding another $17 million or so to its solid haul of $233 million after four weeks. kung fu panda 4 fell to third place, earning just under $17 million with $133 million after three weeks. Then we have a newcomer, Sydney Sweeney’s nun horror film. Immaculate (there’s still a regular church movie in the top 10, don’t worry), which debuted with $5 million, followed by a dog movie. Arthur the king with 4 million dollars.

Kicking off the other half of the top 10 is Partially AI-generated horror movie Late night with the devilso imaginary, love lies bleeding, Cabrini (that’s the other one from the church), and Bob Marley: One love (which has been on the charts for six weeks but doesn’t even have $100 million). There aren’t many other interesting things happening at the domestic box office, so can we talk about how? Cabrini Is she the woman who indirectly gave her name to the Cabrini-Green complex in Chicago, the home of Candyman? She is the patron saint of immigrants and was the first American citizen canonized by the Catholic Church, but we hear her name and just think “that’s where Candyman lives” or “yet another church movie at the US box office this weekend.” week”. What a legacy.
