Horror Hit 'Weapons' Nears End of Blockbuster Run, Surpasses $264M Globally

As of September 28, 2025, Zack Cregger's horror film 'Weapons' is nearing the end of its impressive theatrical run. The movie has grossed over $264 million worldwide, with a strong $150.3 million earned at the domestic box office in North America.

'Weapons' has defied expectations, growing into one of the biggest horror successes of 2025. The film was initially showing in 1,186 theaters across North America, but the count has since fallen by 56%, with around 512 theaters still playing it. Despite the reduced screen count, 'Weapons' continues to show signs of life, with its domestic box office jumping by 68.5% on Friday, September 26, 2025.

The film's domestic numbers put it in rare company, as it now has a chance to surpass the domestic haul of the Oscar-winning musical drama 'La La Land,' which earned $151.1 million in North America. While 'La La Land' collected over $500 million worldwide, far above 'Weapons,' the fact that a horror release with a modest budget is approaching its domestic total underlines the remarkable success of 'Weapons.'

Whatever the final tally, the film's run has already secured a place as one of the year's most remarkable box office stories. As the weeks wind down, the question is not whether 'Weapons' can hit new heights internationally, but how much more it can squeeze out from its reduced screen count before leaving theaters for good.
