It is ruling isolated at the top spot in the domestic rankings. The horror movie will also beat the worldwide haul of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It to become the 10th biggest horror film in the post-COVID era. The film once again showed that, despite a small budget, any movie with good content will thrive financially.
How much has the film earned so far at the domestic box office?
Weapons recorded the third biggest 3rd Tuesday/Discount Day for horror post-COVID with strong legs at the domestic box office. According to the latest data by Box Office Mojo, Weapons collected $2.2 million on its third Tuesday, declining by 42.7% from last week. It is only under Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’s $2.5 million and Sinners‘ $4.2 million third-tuesday grosses. After over 19 days, the horror movie has hit the $119.4 million cume at the North American box office.
Nope, directed by Jordan Peele, is one of the best science fiction films of the 21st century and of all time. The neo-Western science fiction horror film, which features Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer, collected $123.2 million domestically. Josh Brolin’s film is less than $5 million away from beating Nope, and it will happen soon.
