‘Nobody 2’ Punches $1M+ Previews, ‘Weapons’ Ends Week With $64M – Box Office

Summer is ratcheting down and the only major studio wide entry is Universal’s Bob Odenkirk action movie Nobody 2 which did $1.3M from previews yesterday at 2,800 theaters which began at 2PM. The $25M 87North feature production is eyeing a $10M+ start in a marketplace where New Line’s Weapons is expected to rule with $20M+.

The Zach Cregger directed Weapons ends its first week with $64M, which is -17% behind Sinners first week of $77.5M, but 29% ahead of Get Out‘s $49.8M first week. Sinners ended its run at $278.5M and Get Out finaled at $176M. Whether Weapons has a slight dip ala Get Out‘s second frame (-15%) or Sinners (-5%), we’ll know when we get into the thick of Saturday. Sinners saw a spike in its second Saturday over its first of 14%, while Get Out‘s second Saturday dipped -9%. Weapons‘ Thursday was $4.06M, -9% from Wednesday’s $4.4M.
