The horror sequel took the crown in one of the lowest-grossing weekends at the 2023 box office.
The Big Picture The Nun II successfully held on to the top position at the domestic box office with an estimated $14.7 million second weekend. The movie passed the coveted $100 million mark worldwide just yesterday, and is looking at a running domestic total of $56 million.
The movie found itself in a close race for the number one spot with A Haunting in Venice. Despite the restricted budget and creative overhaul, the third installment in director-star Kenneth Branagh’s series of Agatha Christie adaptations, is looking at a soft, second-place debut at the domestic box office. The movie is estimated to have grossed $14.5 million in its first weekend, which is only a marginal improvement over the $12.
But Death on the Nile cost a reported $90 million to produce, while A Haunting in Venice is said to have cost around $60 million. It’s worth noting, however, that Death on the Nile, which ended its domestic run with $45 million and its global run with under $140 million, was released at a far scarier time during the pandemic. One would’ve imagined that A Haunting in Venice, with its Gothic horror appeal, would’ve done better, especially this close to Halloween.
Three Three-quels Found Spots in the Top Five Sony’s The Equalizer 3 took the third spot with an estimated $7.2 million third weekend. This takes the film’s running domestic haul to just under $75 million. The film needs to gross around $25 million more to overtake both the first and second films in the action series, starring Denzel Washington and directed by Antoine Fuqua.
The fourth and fifth spots were also closely contested, with My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, the third three-quel in this weekend’s top five list, ultimately finishing above holdover mega-hit Barbie. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 added $4.7 million in its second weekend, taking its running domestic haul to around $18 million. Meanwhile, Barbie added $3.9 million in its ninth weekend, and also beat The Avengers on the all-time domestic chart as it passed $623 million.
