Spread the love

“Deadpool & Wolverine” has once again dominated the North American box office for the second consecutive weekend, raking in an impressive $15.2 million in sales, according to studio estimates compiled by Comscore. This blockbuster hit from Disney’s (NYSE:DIS) Marvel Studios is on track to exceed $600 million domestically by the end of Labor Day weekend, cementing its place as a significant success in the superhero genre.

Trailing behind in second place is the sci-fi horror film “Alien: Romulus,” which managed to pull in $9.3 million from Friday through Sunday. The film’s total domestic earnings now stand at a robust $88.8 million, showcasing its strong performance in the competitive box-office landscape.

In terms of new releases, the presidential biopic “Reagan” made a noteworthy debut, grossing $7.4 million over the three-day weekend. When including Monday’s figures, the movie is projected to bring in a total of $9.2 million across the United States and Canada, indicating a solid reception among audiences.

Despite these individual successes, the overall summer movie season experienced a dip in performance, with total box-office sales amounting to $3.6 billion. This represents a 10% decline from 2023, a year that saw massive hits like “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” drawing large crowds to theaters.

The standout films of this summer included not only “Deadpool & Wolverine,” but also animated favorites like “Despicable Me 4” and “Inside Out 2,” as well as the disaster film “Twisters.” These movies have been pivotal in keeping audiences engaged during a somewhat sluggish season.

Here are the estimated ticket sales from Friday through Sunday at theaters across the U.S. and Canada, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures are expected to be published on Monday:

1. “Deadpool & Wolverine” – $15.2 million
2. “Alien: Romulus” – $9.3 million
3. “It Ends With Us” – $7.4 million
4. “Reagan” – $7.4 million
5. “Twisters” – $7.2 million
6. “Blink Twice” – $4.7 million
7. “The Forge” – $4.6 million
8. “Despicable Me 4” – $4.1 million
9. “Afraid” – $3.7 million
10. “Inside Out 2” – $2.8 million
