Frozen Empire opens higher than predicted

As predicted, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has simply received the home field workplace this weekend, however it made barely more cash than even Sony’s early predictions: It debuted to $45 million within the U.S., which is a pleasant huge quantity in comparison with the whole lot else on the charts, however is… not so good or huge when in comparison with the debut of its predecessor, Ghostbusters: Afterlife. That one debuted to $44 million in November of 2021, which was nonetheless once we have been taking COVID-19 severely, so Frozen Empire goes to wish critical legs to be able to make an influence.

Dune: Half Two held on to second for the third week in a row (right here I’m, right here I stay, amirite?), including one other $17 million or so to its strong $233 million haul after 4 weeks. Kung Fu Panda 4 fell to 3rd, making slightly below $17 million with $133 million after three weeks. Then we have now a newcomer, Sydney Sweeney’s nun-y horror film Immaculate (there’s nonetheless a traditional church-y film within the high 10, don’t fear), which debuted to $5 million, adopted by canine film Arthur The King with $4 million.

Kicking off the opposite half of the highest 10 is partially AI-generated horror film Late Night time With The Satan, then Imagrinary, Love Lies Bleeding, Cabrini (that’s the opposite church-y one), and Bob Marley: One Love (which has been on the charts for six weeks however doesn’t even have $100 million to point out for it). There aren’t loads of different attention-grabbing issues occurring on the home field workplace, so can we speak about how Cabrini is concerning the lady who was not directly the namesake of Chicago’s Cabrini-Inexperienced advanced, the house of Candyman? She’s the patron saint of immigrants and was the primary American citizen canonized by the Catholic church, however we hear her title and simply assume “that’s the place Candyman lives” or “yet one more church-y film on the U.S. field workplace this weekend.” Hell of a legacy.

Right here’s the record once more. We obtained it from Field Workplace Mojo, as standard.
