The top box office movies this weekend once again highlight the staying power of major franchises, with animated favorites and mid-budget releases continuing to perform steadily alongside blockbuster holdovers. Leading the chart is Avatar: Fire and Ash, which remains firmly in first place as it crosses a major domestic milestone.
Holding the number one spot, Avatar: Fire and Ash brought in $40 million this weekend for 20th Century Studios, playing in 3,835 theaters nationwide. Despite a 37 percent drop from last weekend, the film posted a strong $10,430 per-theater average and pushed its domestic total to an impressive $306 million. Premium formats and repeat viewings continue to fuel the sequel’s long theatrical run.
In second place, Zootopia 2 earned $19 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The animated hit played in 3,285 theaters and delivered a $5,784 per-theater average, showing only a modest 4 percent decline. With a domestic total now topping $363 million, the sequel remains one of the year’s most successful family films.
Lionsgate’s psychological thriller The Housemaid landed in third place with $14.87 million from 3,070 theaters. The film dipped just 3 percent week over week, averaging $4,842 per location and bringing its domestic total to $75.7 million, signaling strong word-of-mouth and consistent adult audience turnout.
In fourth place, A24’s Marty Supreme grossed $12.55 million across 2,887 theaters. While the film experienced a 29 percent drop, it still maintained a solid $4,349 per-theater average and has now earned $56 million domestically, marking another notable theatrical success for the studio.
Rounding out the top five, Sony’s Anaconda added $10 million this weekend from 3,509 theaters. The film saw a 31 percent decline but has reached $45.9 million domestically, continuing a steady run fueled by genre fans and curiosity around the updated take on the cult property.
Overall, this weekend’s box office reflects a balanced marketplace where blockbuster franchises anchor the charts while animated hits and mid-budget films continue to find their audiences. With several titles showing strong legs, the coming weeks should remain competitive as holdovers battle for attention.
