My apologies for the lack of box office report last week. I was in Toronto for TIFF and simply had no time left to do it (please read the coverage of Lindsay, Sara, and myself!) I’m back home, jetlagged to hell, and trying to scrape back my normal routine. I suck at this. Wish me luck! The big festival season releases are just around the corner, so for now, it still feels like kind of a filler period.

After taking the top spot last week, The Nun II stayed on top with $14.73 million from 3,743 theatres. This franchise and its many spin-offs are safe bets: high-concept horror plus low budgets equals success.

Things weren’t so good for A Haunting in Venice, Kenneth Branagh’s latest Poirot movie. Despite getting some of the stronger reviews of this growing series, this Disney film only made a pretty paltry $14.5 million from 3,305 theatres.

Nine weeks in, Barbie is still in the top five, with over $626.1 million domestically. It’s just leaped over Avengers: Age of Ultron to become the 14th highest-grossing film ever made. It’s also very close to becoming the tenth highest-grossing film in North America! Things are also good for Oppenheimer, with $912,739,000 in the bank. That makes it the third-highest-grossing film of 2023, the highest-grossing World War II-related film of all time, the second-highest-grossing R-rated film of all time (behind Joker, and it’s close to being the highest-grossing biopic of all-time. Come on, Nolan, crush Bohemian Rhapsody with your bare hands!

Christian family comedy Camp Hideout, starring Christopher Lloyd, made $510,160 from 848 theatres. The Gamestop stocks satire Dumb Money earned $217,000 from eight locations. Stop-motion animation The Inventor brought in $201,061 from 700 cinemas. Radical Wolfe, a documentary about author Tom Wolfe, made $8,270 from one theatre.

This coming weekend sees the re-release of Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense and the action sequel Expend4bles.
