Despite all the behind-the-scenes drama, the slasher horror sequel "Scream 7" scored a franchise-best debut that effortlessly dominated the box office. Without any other major new releases in theaters, the concert film "Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined" and the newly expanded documentary "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert" round out the Top 5.
Read more about the weekend box office after the jump.
Paramount's "Scream 7" performed much better than expected and opened at the top of the box office with $63.6 million from 3,540 theaters, which is the franchise's biggest opening, so far, surpasing the 2022 reboot's $30 million debut and the $44.4 million opening of "Scream VI" in 2023. Overseas it raked in another $33.1 million for a global total of $96.7 million. The film cost around $45 million to produce, which it has already recouped, along with any marketing costs. The critical reception was negative (31% on Rotten Tomatoes), but moviegoers were mostly mixed on it ("B-" CinemaScore).
The animated film "GOAT" dropped to second place in its third weekend and raked in $12 million, a 28.8% decline from the previous frame. The film has now grossed a total of $73.9 million in North America and another $56.5 million from overseas markets, which brings the worldwide tally to $130.4 million against a budget of $90 million. It still needs to keep up the pace in order to turn a profit.
In third place we find "Wuthering Heights", which finished its third weekend in third place with $6.7 million, another sharp 52.1% drop from last week. The movie's domestic market is proving sluggish, with only $72 million, so far, but overseas it's doing much better, raking in a total of $119.7 million. The worldwide cume is now at $191.7 million which means the $80 million movie ended up being quite profitable.
The concert film "Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined" opened in fourth place with $4.3 million from 833 theaters.
The Top 5 is rounded out by Baz Luhrmann's documentary "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert" with $3.5 million, up 9% from the previous frame. The film expanded nationwide, adding 1,638 theaters over the weekend. The domestic box office total now stands at $7.8 million. Internationally it adds another $6.7 million.
In other news, James Cameron's "Avatar: Fire and Ash" has exited the Top 10 after 11 weeks, grossing $1.3 million over the weeekend. The threequel has now topped $400 million in North America, while overseas it adds another $1 billion for a total of $1.48 billion, which is the franchise's lowest box office. It remains to be seen how this affects Cameron's plans for the series.
