It was a dreadfully slow weekend at the theater, with no major blockbusters on the slate after Dune: Part Two had its premiere delayed to 2024. Instead, Blumhouse’s video game adaptation, Five Nights at Freddy’s, was able to maintain its animatronic hold on the box office, winning the No. 1 spot despite a huge (and anticipated) drop-off from its opening weekend haul. In fact, the top three remained unchanged, with Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Killers of the Flower Moon taking silver and bronze, respectively. While the titles may have stayed the same, the dollar amounts earned in the U.S. and Canada fell by half.
There was some good news, however, for a couple of new movies, so take a look at the chart below, and then we’ll get into some analysis.
