Weapons Outperforms Freakier Friday in Previews, Hints at Potential Box Office Surge

According to the latest box office reports, the new R-rated horror movie Weapons from New Line is currently seeing a preview figure of over $5M, placing it in the neighborhood of the earlier summer spooky movie, Final Destination: Bloodlines. This strong preview performance suggests that Weapons could see a higher walk-up business, potentially exceeding the $30M+ tracking earlier in the weekend.

In contrast, Disney's sequel to 2003's Freaky Friday, titled Freakier Friday, is earning around $3M in previews. Both films were initially expected to reach $30M+ in their opening weekends, but recent reports indicate that Weapons is pulling ahead, with a potential low-to-mid $30M take or even more.

Interestingly, Weapons has ranked as the second-best horror ticket pre-seller of the year, behind only Sinners, and ahead of Final Destination: Bloodlines. The film has also received excellent reviews, with a 97% certified fresh rating and a 90% audience score. Whether Weapons can maintain this momentum and break beyond its core fan base will be crucial in determining its ultimate box office performance.
