'KPop Demon Hunters' Tops 'Weapons' with $18 Million in Two Days - MyNewsLA.com

The animated musical "KPop Demon Hunters" is making big noise at the box office this weekend, grossing at least $18 million in two days to lead all films in North America, according to reports Sunday.

The Sony Pictures film is being released to theaters -- on Saturday and Sunday only -- by Netflix, which is not officially releasing its box office figures, but multiple trade industry publications reported that it made $9.6 million on Saturday and was expected to add about $8.4 million Sunday.

"K-Pop Demon Hunters" is already available on the streaming service, but many fans are using the big-screen showings to sing along to the film's songs.

The horror film "Weapons" grossed $15.6 million after spending its first two weeks in first place, Comscore reported.

"Freakier Friday" was next with $9.2 million Friday through Sunday in its third weekend in theaters.

"Fantastic Four: First Steps" was fourth with $5.9 million in its fifth week, followed by "The Bad Guys 2," which made $5.1 million in its fourth week.

"Nobody 2," the sequel to 2021's action hit starring Bob Odenkirk as a former assassin trying to fashion a new life as a suburban dad, was next with $3.7 million in its second weekend.

Rounding out the official top 10 domestic releases were "Superman" ($3.4 million), "Honey Don't!" ($3 million), "The Naked Gun" ($2.9 million), "Jurassic World Rebirth" ($2.1 million) and "Relay" ($1.9 million).

This weekend's overall three-day box office haul was estimated at $60.1 million. The year-to-date total is $5.88 billion -- up 5% from the figure at this time last year, according to Comscore.
