‘Weapons’ Holds Onto Box Office Crown, Defeats ‘Nobody 2’ in Weekend Showdown
‘Weapons’ Dominates Second Weekend, Keeps ‘Nobody 2’ at Bay
Zach Cregger’s ‘Weapons’ continued its impressive run at the box office, comfortably holding onto the top spot for the second consecutive weekend. The film, which debuted with a bang, successfully fended off competition from both established titles and a high-profile newcomer, ‘Nobody 2’. This latest victory cements ‘Weapons’’ status as a major box office success, proving its staying power and audience appeal.
A Strong Second Weekend Performance
Following a stellar opening weekend, ‘Weapons’ demonstrated remarkable endurance, defying the typical box office slump that often affects films after their initial release. While specific figures haven't been released yet, industry analysts are already predicting a significant overall gross for the film.

‘Nobody 2’ Faces a Tough Challenge
The arrival of ‘Nobody 2’, a sequel highly anticipated by action fans, presented a considerable challenge to ‘Weapons’. The film boasts a well-known cast and a proven track record of success. However, despite the hype, ‘Nobody 2’ couldn't quite unseat ‘Weapons’ from its position at the top. This suggests that ‘Weapons’’ broader appeal and perhaps a more diverse audience base ultimately proved decisive.
Other Box Office Contenders
While ‘Weapons’ and ‘Nobody 2’ commanded the spotlight, ‘Freakier Friday’ also remained a notable presence in the box office charts. Although it didn't reach the top two, its consistent performance underscores the continued demand for family-friendly entertainment.
What’s Driving ‘Weapons’ Success?

The film’s marketing campaign effectively targeted a wide audience, generating significant buzz and anticipation. Ultimately, the film’s ability to deliver a thrilling and engaging cinematic experience seems to be the key to its continued success.
Looking Ahead
With ‘Weapons’ showing no signs of slowing down, the box office landscape remains exciting.
