Weapons, which had a great hold at the box office, had a spectacular third weekend but missed this major global milestone by a hair. The film starring Josh Brolin and Julia Garner recently crossed the $100 million milestone at the domestic box office, which is a spectacular feat for a film with a decent budget. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The film received an A- rating on CinemaScore, and the ratings across other platforms are also quite strong. However, this weekend, it lost its #1 spot to KPop Demon Hunters in the domestic box office rankings. It has been ruling isolated at the top since its release. The film’s success shows people are willing to consume fresh and original content if it’s strong enough. Sinners proved it a few months back, and F1 is also performing well, which is also original content.
How much has the film collected so far at the domestic box office?
Based on the latest data provided by Box Office Mojo, Weapons, starring Josh Brolin, collected $15.6 million on its third three-day weekend at the North American box office.
