Don’t look now but Mason Thames might be the king of 2025 at the movies. This weekend, His latest film, Regretting You, managed to sneak the #1 slot at the box office over The Black Phone 2. Colleen Hoover’s beloved novel serves as the inspiration for the new movie. It notched about $8 million this weekend. But, Mason Thames was in a strange bit of competition with himself on this one. He’s in the Blumhouse horror picture as well! He stars alongside Ethan Hawke’s grabber in that world. But, that’s Thames’ third movie to debut at #1 this year.
As our friends over at Film Updates posted, that’s the first time an actor has scored 3 number ones since Jim Carrey in 1994. Yeah, How to Train Your Dragon was this year too! (Mason, if they ask you to reboot Ace Ventura, go ahead and run!) That’s a fun accomplishment for an 18 year-old actor looking to keep establishing himself in Hollywood. There’s a bit of a give and take to this box office tally for Halloween weekend. Both Regretting You and Black Phone 2 are hovering around $8 million. But, no matter what, everything is coming up Thames.
