The new Hollywood horror-thriller Weapons is turning out to be a massive surprise blockbuster at the American Box Office. The film, directed by Zach Cregger and starring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin, is not just performing well; it’s smashing expectations and has become one of the biggest hits of the year in the United States.
An Outstanding Third Week Performance
Even in its third week, Weapons is showing incredible strength. The film earned a massive USD 4.7 million (approx. ₹39 crore) on its third Friday alone. This is considered a very strong hold for any film, showing that audiences are still flocking to see it. In fact, due to its popularity, the movie’s screen count was increased by 185 theatres, a rare feat that happens only when a film is a huge hit with the public due to strong word-of-mouth.
Smashing Box Office Milestones
The movie has already crossed the huge milestone of USD 100 million (approx. ₹830 crore) in the US and Canada. After another strong weekend, its total collection is expected to reach an impressive USD 118 million (approx. ₹980 crore). The film is performing so well that it is now projected to end its run with a massive lifetime total of over USD 150 million (approx. ₹1245 crore), making it a hugely profitable venture.
The Surprise Hit Of The Summer
Weapons has become the “sleeper hit” of the summer – a film that starts off with moderate expectations but becomes a massive success because audiences love it. Despite many other big films being in theatres, Weapons has managed to hold its own and keep earning big numbers. This success is being credited to its thrilling story and the positive reviews from both critics and viewers. It marks another major win for director Zach Cregger, whose previous film Barbarian was also a surprise hit.
The incredible box office run of Weapons proves that a good, original horror film can still attract huge crowds to theatres and become one of the biggest success stories of the year.
