By the end of the summer, it always gets colder. Even in its sixth weekend, Disney's "Deadpool & Wolverine" is still occupying the top spot on domestic charts, despite the fact that theaters are screening a number of low-performing new releases, such as "Reagan," a presidential biopic starring Dennis Quaid, and "Afraid," a Blumhouse horror film.
Friday's total for the Marvel Studios production was $3.6 million, down 26% from a week earlier. Aside from a one-end of the week surrendering of No. 1 to the first frame of the movie "Alien: For more than a month, "Deadpool & Wolverine" and "Romulus" have dominated. Within the next few days, it should earn $600 million domestically, a milestone that has only been reached by 15 other films.
The superhero team-up film that comes in ahead of “Afraid,” which was released by Sony to 3,003 locations. The sci-fi thriller starring John Cho and Katherine Waterston made $1.3 million on its opening day and in previews. It follows a married couple whose AI-assisted household starts attacking their family. Although the PG-13 film directed by Chris Weitz did not achieve these numbers, Blumhouse was able to turn it around on a $12 million production budget using its usual lean economic model. Despite the fact that the movie isn't a huge financial burden, the $4 million opening that is anticipated would still be a very quiet one. Despite receiving a C+ rating from cinematographic research company Cinema Score and negative reviews, this is a typical horror release for you.
Popular on Variety Ad Loading 00:00 00:00 "Afraid" is at least performing better than the majority of the other nationwide releases of the weekend, none of which seemed like the top priorities for critics to review as the fall film festival season began. Lionsgate's "1992," a Tyrese Gibson vehicle that follows a retailer remaining above water during the L.A. riots, took in an expected $460,000 on its first day of the season from 875 areas. It receives an A- Cinema Score from the audience and favorable reviews.
In the mean time, Side of the road's "City of Dreams," an illegal exploitation show that has joined leader makers going from Martin Sheen to Vivek Ramaswamy, has netted generally $840,000 from 774 areas. Additionally, John Devaney, founder of United Capital and Manor House Films, who gave away $1 million in free admissions to draw attention to the issues-based drama, will contribute significantly to the final opening number. However, the Cinema Score gave it an A.
Additionally, the space thriller "Slingshot" from Bleecker Street, starring Casey Affleck and Laurence Fishburne, has received an estimated $250,000 from 845 locations. The film, which was directed by Mikael Hfström, has received only average reviews.
The debut theatrical release from Showbiz Direct is titled "Reagan." The biopic stopped advertising before being taken on by the new banner after a first look was shown off at Cinema Con in 2022. The actor-turned-president, played by Dennis Quaid, was fervently anti-communist from his time as SAG head during the blacklist era to his time in the Oval Office.

The $25 million production was directed by Sean McNamara (Bratz, Soul Surfer).

Holdovers will take the majority of the top box office slots, even with five new releases in theaters. The film "Alien: After earning $2.2 million on Friday, "Romulus" hopes to finish second again. The sci-fi sequel from 20th Century Studio has made over $80 million domestically and $150 million internationally after two weeks of release thanks to an unexpected but impressive performance in China.
With an estimated $9.5 million for the four-day weekend (or $7.3 million for the three-day frame), Sony's "It Ends With Us" appears to be moving up to third place. In North America, the Blake Lively drama has now grossed more than $125 million. It will attempt to beat "A Quiet Place:" in the coming weeks. The very beginning" ($138 million) to turn into the tenth most elevated netting homegrown arrival of the year.
Additionally this weekend, Amazon MGM's "Blink Twice" appears well-positioned to overcome a subpar opening. The psychological thriller starring Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum is expected to make $5.2 million in its first three days, which is just 28% less than when it opened.
