As the summer season ended, Labor Day weekend saw a flood of box office hits. The biggest hit of the weekend was ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’, which earned a whopping $19.4 million at the domestic box office. The duo of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman once again captivated the audience with their fun and action-packed performances. The film not only managed to cross the $600 million domestic milestone, but it also reached a new height globally with a gross of $1.26 billion, making it the seventh highest-grossing comic book movie of all time.
At the same time, despite the attraction of Deadpool and Wolverine, other films also grabbed the attention of the audience on Labor Day weekend. ‘Alien: Romulus’ also performed impressively this weekend, with horror and sci-fi fans welcoming the film with great enthusiasm. The film went on to gross $11.5 million and has become a huge hit with a worldwide gross of $285.6 million so far. Its strong showings, especially in IMAX and premium formats, have given it a new identity in the world of horror films.
However, ‘Reagan’ was also a part of the critical buzz this weekend. Made on a budget of $25 million, the biopic debuted in third place with $10 million. Based on Paul Kengor’s novel, the film received mixed reviews from critics but received a lot of support from audiences. While the film’s 20% Tomatometer score reflected negativity from critics, the 98% Hot Rotten Tomatoes score from audiences highlighted a strong response to it.
This weekend’s films proved that a combination of diversity and quality at the box office attracts audiences to theaters. While ‘Deadpool’ and ‘Wolverine’ impressed everyone with their record-breaking collections, ‘Alien: Romulus’ and ‘Reign’ also made their mark and grabbed the attention of the audience. The performance of these films will be watched closely in the coming weeks as they make this cinematic festival even more exciting.
‘It Ends With Us’ and ‘Twisters’ hold strong at the box office, ‘Afraid’ gets off to a slow start
This week’s box office battle continues as It Ends With Us and Twisters continue to hold their own. It Ends With Us, which is at #4 at the domestic box office, recently grossed $9.56 million. The film’s popularity continues to grow, and Justin Baldoni’s romantic drama has won over audiences. Despite the controversies and media headlines, the film continues to reach new heights of success, grossing $135.8 million domestically and $283 million globally.
Twisters, on the other hand, is also holding its own, now in its 7th week, at #5 with $9.5 million. The film’s continued success is thanks to Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell, who brilliantly portray this tale of natural disaster. The film has grossed a whopping $361.6 million globally, which shows its consistency and popularity among the audience.
