Summary

  • Zach Cregger’s horror film Weapons had a successful opening, grossing $42.5 million USD
  • The film’s strong performance solidifies Cregger’s reputation as a top horror director
  • The film’s debut shows audiences are still eager for original horror films

The horror genre continues to prove its box office might, as director Zach Cregger’s latest film, Weapons, soared to an impressive $42.5 million USD in its North American debut. The film, a star-studded horror thriller, not only commanded the top spot at the domestic box office but also solidified Cregger’s reputation as a genre filmmaker with a unique ability to deliver both critical praise and commercial success.

Released by Warner Bros. Pictures, Weapons stars Oscar nominee Josh Brolin in the lead role, alongside a strong ensemble cast. Its commanding opening weekend is particularly noteworthy as it follows Cregger’s breakout 2022 hit, Barbarian, which became a sleeper success. This repeated performance at the box office suggests that Cregger is a filmmaker with a loyal following, and audiences are eager to see his original take on horror and suspense.

Weapons is described as a multi-story horror epic, a narrative approach that Cregger used to great effect in Barbarian. The film’s successful opening underscores that audiences are hungry for original, high-concept horror films, especially when they come from a director with a proven track record. This victory for Weapons sets a strong precedent for the genre and marks an exciting new chapter for Zach Cregger in Hollywood. Cregger’s latest film stars Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Benedict Wong and Amy Madigan. Its success extends Warner Bros.’ hot streak under its New Line label. Disney’s body swap comedy sequel Freakier Friday hit the second top spot on the charts this weekend, premiering to $29 million USD. ahead of Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
