Box Office: ‘Weapons’ Holds No. 1 While ‘Nobody 2’ Stumbles on Debut

For the second straight weekend, Warner Bros.’ Weapons continues to dominate the domestic box office, pulling in $25 million this week and pushing its global tally to $148.7 million. The thriller has managed to hold onto its audience while new contenders enter the frame, proving that word of mouth and sustained buzz can still keep a film firmly in the top spot.

Disney’s Freakier Friday stays steady in second place, adding $14.5 million domestically for a worldwide haul of $86.2 million. The studio’s spin on body-swap comedy is showing legs, though it’s pacing behind Disney’s usual blockbuster benchmarks. Its mix of nostalgia and family appeal appears to be resonating just enough to keep it comfortably in the upper tier.

The real headline this weekend, however, is the underwhelming start for Universal’s Nobody 2. Landing in third, the action sequel scraped together just $9.25 million in North America and $14.1 million worldwide. For a follow-up with built-in recognition and a returning star, the numbers suggest audiences didn’t rush back as expected.

Meanwhile, The Fantastic Four: First Steps keeps hovering in the middle of the pack, adding $8.8 million domestically. Taking the global figure to $468.7 million worldwide, a figure that looks modest by Marvel’s blockbuster standards, signaling softer domestic traction even as overseas markets continue to carry the weight.

Rounding out the top five, Universal’s animated sequel The Bad Guys 2 pulled in another $7.5 million domestically. Its global total stands at $117.4 million, a solid if unspectacular performance that reinforces the family animation market as steady but competitive.

Overall, the weekend shows a marketplace still hungry for variety but quick to pass judgment on sequels that don’t bring something fresh. Weapons demonstrates the power of momentum, while Nobody 2 proves that not every franchise entry is guaranteed a win. Audiences voted with their wallets, and the message is loud and clear.
