As of October 5, 2025, the horror film Weapons has stalled at around $150 million in domestic box office earnings, signaling a clear slowdown in its theatrical run in North America. However, the movie has become an unexpected blockbuster, grossing a total of $250 million worldwide and ranking among the top five highest-grossing horror releases of the year.
Despite the domestic box office struggles, the success of Weapons has even sparked talks of a sequel focused on the movie's main antagonist, Aunty Gladys. The film, directed by Zach Cregger, is his second release following the hit Barbarian.
While Weapons fell short of the $300 million mark due to international theaters moving on to newer releases, its strong worldwide performance has kept the momentum going. The movie will be available for digital rental starting September 9, 2025, on platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV, giving fans the chance to enjoy the horror from the comfort of their homes.
With a sequel in the pipeline, Weapons could return to public attention, especially for those curious about Aunty Gladys and the story left behind. The North American run may be winding down, but the worldwide impact and upcoming sequel suggest that Weapons' story is far from over.
