Friday Box Office: ‘Spider-Man’ And ‘Jaws’ Plunge As ‘Elvis’ Tops $150 Million

Nothing old earned more than $1 million. The Bullet Train earned another $865,000 on its sixth Friday to reach $90 million domestically. There will be a $3.1 million weekend and a $92 million 38 day total. Although Sony's next movie, The Woman King, opens next week, it should still make at least $100 million domestically by the end of the year. Top Gun earned $845,000 on Friday for a likely $2 million weekend and new domestic gross of $705 million. In comparison to the boost it got on National Cinema Day, the drop was relatively sharp. Will the Tom Cruise mega-smash go on as usual next weekend?

The Invitation earned $700,000 on Friday for a likely $2.4 million weekend and $18.6 million 17 day total. I'm impressed that it's still going on despite the low budget. Warner Bros. Discovery's DC League of Super Pets earned $500,000 on Friday and is expected to earn $2.16 million over the weekend and $84.8 million domestically. The only big kid-friendly family flick between now and early October is benefiting from a barren market. The film earned $460,000 in theaters, but also earned $460,000 on the platform. We can expect a weekend gross of $1.68 million and a domestic gross of $28.25 million for the movie.

Universal's Minions: The Rise of Gru should pass $900 million worldwide sometime this weekend as it earns another $1.45 million for a new $362 million domestic box office. Sony's Where the Crawdads Sing will make around $1.28 million over the weekend for an 87.67 million domestic total. It was a one-weekend wonder. It made $540,000 on Friday and is expected to make at least $1 million on the weekend. The movie has only made $813.26 million in the US, making it hard for Tom Holland to take a break from his character. It's a shame. I think thatJared Leto's Morbius is the most- watched movie on the internet. The first window pay-television deal with Netflix is paying off for both sides.

Disney+ will bring in $960,000 for the weekend for a $342 million domestic box office. Nope will make $800,000 over the weekend for $122 million domestically. I argued at the beginning of the summer that Nope might outgross the other films. It's one out of three. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will have a 75% drop this weekend. A $150,000 gross was achieved on Friday with a drop in jaws. It will gross $530,000 over the weekend, which is 80% of what it would have been had inflation been taken into account. Tonight is the Toronto premiere of The Fabelmans. Sometimes we deserve nice things.
