In its second weekend, Warner Bros’ The Nun 2, a spinoff from the popular Conjuring franchise, earned a impressive 14.7 million USD (£11.9 million) at the box office. If these numbers hold, The Nun 2 will have a total gross of up to 56.5 million dollars (£45.6 million) domestically and 158.8 million dollars (£128 million) worldwide, securing its spot as the top film for a second consecutive week.
A Haunting In Venice, Sir Kenneth Branagh’s third Agatha Christie adaptation following the success of Murder On The Orient Express in 2017 and Death On The Nile in 2022, had a strong start with an opening weekend of 14.5 million dollars (£11.7 million).
Final box office figures will be released on Monday.
After the impressive performance of Murder On The Orient Express, which earned 352.8 million dollars (£284.8 million) worldwide against a production budget of 55 million dollars (£44.4 million), and the less successful performance of Death On The Nile, which earned 137.3 million dollars (£110.9 million) against a 90 million dollar (£72.7 million) budget, the underwhelming opening for A Haunting in Venice may indicate a decline in interest for Sir Kenneth’s detective films. The movie, released by 20th Century Studios and Disney, grossed 22.7 million dollars (£18.3 million) internationally and had a production budget of around 60 million dollars (£48.4 million), lower than its predecessor.
Denzel Washington’s The Equalizer 3 dropped to third place with 7.2 million dollars (£5.8 million) in its third week. It has earned 73.7 million dollars (£59.5 million) domestically and 132.4 million dollars (£106.9 million) worldwide.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 took fourth place with 4.7 million dollars (£3.8 million) in its second weekend. It has earned 18.5 million dollars (£15 million) domestically.
This weekend was relatively quiet for the cinema industry, with Hollywood shifting its focus to film festivals like Venice, Telluride, and Toronto. As the industry awaits the release of highly anticipated autumn films like Barbie and Oppenheimer, there were fewer major releases. Some films, like Dune: Part Two, have been delayed until next year due to strikes by Sag-Aftra and WGA.
One highly anticipated autumn film, Dumb Money from Sony, opted for a platform release strategy. It premiered in eight theaters over the weekend and will expand next weekend before going wide on September 29. The film, which dramatizes the GameStop stock frenzy, earned 217,000 dollars (£175,198), with an average of about 27,000 dollars (£21,799) per location.
Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig, continues to perform well at the box office. It remains in the top five films for the ninth consecutive weekend, adding four million dollars (£3.2 million) to its domestic total of 625 million dollars (£504.6 million) and global earnings of 1.42 billion dollars (£1.15 billion).
Oppenheimer, another highly successful film, has now earned 912.7 million dollars (£737 million), surpassing Bohemian Rhapsody as the highest-grossing biopic of all time.
