Armas está de vuelta en la cima de la taquilla con otro poderoso fin de semana para cerrar el verano 2025

by

Como entusiasta del cine, parece que ayer estaba anticipando ansiosamente el inicio del verano 2025 con la épica de Jake Schreier, Thunderbolts , o como lo llamamos con cariño, los nuevos Avengers . Sin embargo, aquí estamos, cuatro meses después, y la cortina ha caído en esa temporada. El panorama del cine ha sido deslumbrante, con éxitos de taquilla como los impresionantes Superman , de James Gunn , la cautivadora de Dean DeBlois Cómo entrenar a su dragón , Gareth Edwards ‘Pulse-bounding Jurassic World Rebirth , y el alto nosco de Joseph Kosinski . Sin embargo, es el acto de clausura de la temporada que realmente ha robado el espectáculo: las armas electrizantes de Zach Cregger . Esta película ha demostrado ser una increíble historia de éxito entre esta línea estelar.

Como entusiasta de la película, siempre es emocionante presenciar una obra maestra original que se destaca en medio de un mar de películas de franquicias. Este verano de 2025 vio la escalofriante película de terror “armas” tomar otra victoria de taquilla, reforzando aún más su colección de éxitos. Incluso con nuevos lanzamientos como el “robo” de Darren Aronofsky y “The Roses” de Jay Roach, nuestras queridas “armas” lograron mantener su dominio.

Si tiene curiosidad sobre los resultados de la taquilla del fin de semana, lo invito a echar un vistazo a la tabla de los 10 mejores a continuación. ¡Estén atentos para mi análisis sobre lo que hizo que esta película de terror fuera tan cautivadora para el público!

After A Week Out Of The Top Spot, Weapons Is Back On Top Of The Box Office

August has been the reign of Arms. The 2025 horror film debuted in cinemas at the beginning of the month and quickly turned into a box office hit due to widespread favorable reviews, maintaining its popularity in the weeks that followed. Last Sunday, it was dethroned from the top position by a special/limited sing-along event for Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans’ KPop Demon Hunters, but with that event now over, Weapons regained its #1 spot.

Based on recent reports, the critically-acclaimed horror movie has once again grossed over $10 million in ticket sales during its latest weekend, bringing its domestic total to a staggering $132.4 million. The film has been a powerhouse at the box office since its initial release, and it’s clear that it continues to dominate the big screen. Along with Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, this success has made for an invigorating period for original horror stories. Fans of the genre are eagerly awaiting the potential influence it will have on the industry.

As a follower, I’m excited to share that with the recent influx of funds, our cinematic project has managed to surpass Peter Hastings’s “Dog Man” at the domestic box office by exceeding its $98 million earnings. By this time next Sunday, we expect to secure the 12th spot in the year’s biggest earners domestically if we can rally an additional $6 million. This would position us above Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein’s “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” which concluded its run this summer with a total of $138.1 million.

In previous articles, I’ve pointed out that the movie “Weapons” has been doing well at home compared to abroad. However, this week, it reached an impressive feat by surpassing $100 million in box office earnings from international markets. For those who struggle with basic arithmetic, this means its total worldwide box office collection now stands at approximately $232.4 million. Given that this film’s production budget was less than $40 million, this is a remarkable achievement indeed. While other films have earned more, there’s no denying that it ranks among the most profitable movies of 2025 thus far when considering profits.

By the end of this weekend, “Weapons” has become the seventeenth highest-grossing film of the year, outperforming Marc Webb’s “Snow White” at the eighteenth spot with a box office revenue of $205.7 million. Interestingly, it ranks third among the top original movies produced by Hollywood since January, trailing only behind “F1” ($613 million) and “Sinners” ($365.7 million).

Will the movie, following Zach Cregger’s ‘Barbarian’, receive any increase in viewership due to the Halloween season approaching? Starting from September, a period of around two months is traditionally when viewers lean towards watching horror films in cinemas. However, it remains uncertain if this film will see an uptick, perhaps due to the upcoming competition. Nonetheless, I’ll be monitoring the box office reports closely for next week to find out more.

Caught Stealing And The Roses Get Off To Mediocre Starts

The unexpected success of “Weapons” during late summer was further enhanced by the limited theater showings for “KPop Demon Hunters” a week ago. However, it’s essential to remember that August is typically not a favorable month for new releases. This trend has been evident in the box office performances of this weekend’s top wide releases, “Caught Stealing” and “The Roses.

Both the crime thriller starring Austin Butler and the comedy featuring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman haven’t been outright dismissed by audiences, as indicated by the “B” and “B+” ratings from audience members who completed CinemaScore surveys this weekend. However, they didn’t spark a surge in ticket sales either.

Among the two contenders under consideration, “Caught Stealing” showed the strongest performance, with earnings of $7.8 million and a second-place finish, trailing only the special reissue of Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws”. While it didn’t set any records, assuming there won’t be any downward adjustments in the upcoming days, it stands out as Darren Aronofsky’s highest opening weekend since “Noah” made $43.7 million back in 2014. Interestingly, it just barely surpassed the initial box office take of the contentious “mother!” when it was first released in 2017 ($7.5 million).

The re-imagined dark comedy film “The War of the Roses,” originally by Danny DeVito in 1989, could only reach fifth position at the box office this weekend. This places it below Nisha Ganatra’s “Freaky Friday,” which is currently on its fourth weekend. Despite boasting a star-studded cast including Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, Allison Janney, Ncuti Gatwa, and Zoë Chao, and generally positive reviews from critics, the movie earned just $6.4 million in ticket sales.

As a movie enthusiast counting down the days, I can’t wait for Michael Chaves’ “The Conjuring: Last Rites” hitting theatres this coming Friday! This marks the beginning of my much-anticipated spooky season, and I’m intrigued to witness its impact on the horror genre compared to previous films in the franchise. Be sure to revisit TopMob next Sunday for a detailed analysis of how this chilling addition fares at the box office!
