Spider-Man: No Way Home jumps back to #1 as both newcomers barely register.
After a week at #2, Spider-Man: No Way Home, returned to dominance, taking the top slot back from Scream. Spidey brought in $14 million, to bring its total to $720.9 million. It's currently about $40 million south of Avatar for the #3 all-time domestic slot. It might be a close call, but it seems likely that there's at least that much left in the film's tank, especially as it's still putting up double-digit weekend grosses 6 weeks into its run. For comparison's sake, Spidey grossed almost exactly the same that Star Wars: The Force Awakens grossed in its sixth weekend in January 2016. That film still had about $84 million left to go, so expect Spidey to pass the Na'vi by the end of February.
Like many horror films, Scream had a big second-weekend drop, though a drop under 60% is a decent hold for this type of film (by comparison, Halloween Kills fell 70%). The horror thriller scared up $12.2 million, for a ten-day total of $51.2 million. It still looks to be heading to a final gross of around $70 million.
As the only other successful Christmas release, Sing 2 continues to role along, bringing in another $5.6 million for a total of $128.5 million.
Opening in fourth was Redeeming Love, a Christian drama, based loosely on the Book of Hosea, set in Gold Rush era California. It opened to a quiet $3.5 million, and seems likely to finish under $10 million.
The King's Man continues to be the leggiest of the Christmas flops, coming in fifth with $1.8 million. The comedy thriller is now up to $31.5 million, and has an outside chance of catching up to West Side Story and The Matrix Resurrections, both of which opened higher than King's Man, but have faded much quicker.
Flop female actioner The 355 took in $1.6 million in sixth for a total of $11.1 million. American Underdog brought in $1.2 million for a total of $23.1 million.
Opening in eighth, with only $0.7 million (the sixth-worst opening ever for a film opening on over 2,000 screens), was The King's Daughter (not to be confused with The King's Man), a period fantasy film that was filmed in 2014 and then sat on the shelf for the next eight years, going from studio to studio, before finally getting tossed out with little promotion by tiny Gravitas Ventures.
Rounding out the Top 10 was West Side Story and Licorice Pizza, with grosses of $35.1 million and $10.8 million, respectively.
This weekend was supposed to see the opening of Spider-Man spinoff Morbius, but that is now scheduled for April. Nothing else moved into its position, so except Spidey to swing into the top spot for one final, very quiet weekend. We'll find out just how bad the box office turns out next week.
