As we enter September 2024, the box office continues to deliver fierce competition. Leading the charge this weekend is Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, a much-anticipated sequel that has drawn large crowds, grossing over $41 million. Following closely is the action-packed blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine, which continues to dominate after an already impressive summer. It has now crossed the $600 million mark domestically, a remarkable feat for any R-rated film.
In third place, Reagan, a historical drama about the former U.S. president, has held its ground, despite a more modest box office take of just under $7.5 million. Other films such as Alien: Romulus and It Ends With Us remain steady in the top five, though their box office numbers are gradually decreasing.
While Deadpool & Wolverine continues to capture audiences, animated hits like Inside Out 2 and family-friendly Despicable Me 4 have begun to fade from the spotlight, though they both remain significant contenders in overall 2024 earnings.
This weekend’s releases struggled to shake up the rankings, as smaller films like the horror-thriller Afraid failed to ignite much interest, grossing a meager $3.7 million.
Takeaways:
- Beetlejuice Beetlejuice dominates this weekend, with Deadpool & Wolverine close behind.
- Reagan makes a solid debut in third place.
- New releases haven’t significantly impacted the top contenders yet.
This week’s box office reflects a mix of audience favorites, with blockbuster sequels and nostalgic franchises leading the charge.
