The top box office movies this week highlight the staying power of blockbuster franchises alongside strong performances from animated hits and buzzy mid-budget releases. Leading the chart once again is Avatar: Fire and Ash, which continues to dominate the marketplace despite a typical post-opening decline, while family favorites and new releases keep the holiday corridor competitive.
Holding onto the number one spot, Avatar: Fire and Ash earned $64 million this weekend for 20th Century Studios, playing in 3,800 theaters nationwide. The film delivered a $16,842 per-theater average and now boasts a massive domestic total of $217.7 million, despite a 28 percent drop from last week. The sequel’s continued success underscores the franchise’s appeal in premium formats and repeat viewings.
Climbing to second place, Zootopia 2 posted an impressive $20 million weekend for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Playing in 3,370 locations, the animated sequel delivered a $5,935 per-theater average and surged 35 percent from the previous frame. With a domestic total now exceeding $321 million, the film remains one of the year’s most profitable theatrical releases.
Landing in third place, Marty Supreme continued its strong debut run with $17.52 million from 2,668 theaters. Released by A24, the film posted a healthy $6,568 per-theater average, bringing its domestic total to $28.3 million and signaling strong word-of-mouth for the studio’s latest prestige title.
In fourth place, Lionsgate’s psychological thriller The Housemaid added $15.4 million this weekend from 3,042 theaters. The film averaged $5,062 per location and now stands at $46.46 million domestically, despite a 19 percent decline. The movie continues to perform well as adult counterprogramming amid a crowded release slate.
Rounding out the top five, Sony’s revival of Anaconda grossed $14.55 million from 3,509 theaters. With a per-theater average of $4,146, the film has reached $23.65 million domestically, showing solid audience interest in the updated take on the cult-favorite thriller.
Overall, this week’s box office reflects a balanced marketplace where tentpole franchises, animated family films, and mid-budget releases are all finding room to succeed as audiences continue to return to theaters.
