The darkly comic thriller "The Menu" and the faith-based event release "The Chosen Season 3: Episodes 1 & 2" opened in theaters and scored solid debuts this weekend, but Marvel's "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" had no problems securing the top spot in its sophomore frame, even though it had to deal with a much steeper decline than expected. The Weinstein scandal drama "She Said", however, stumbled in its semi-wide debut.
Read more about the weekend box-office after the jump.
The superhero sequel "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever held in first place with $67.3 million, but dropped 63% from its debut, which is one of the steeper second weekend declines in superhero box-office history. The original "Black Panther" dropped just 45% in its second weekend and grossed $111.6 million. Still, it's not as bad as the sophomore drop of films like "Thor: Love and Thunder" (-68%), "Black Widow" (-68%), or "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" (-67%). After 10 days, "Wakanda Forever" has grossed $287.9 million domestically, and another $258.3 million overseas, for a worldwide total of $546.3 million.
The dark horror comedy "The Menu" opened in second place with $9 million from 3,211 theaters, pretty much as expected as pre-release projections put it somewhere between $7 and $11 million. The film also raked in another $6.2 million from 35 overseas markets. "The Menu" was well-received by critics (90% on Rotten Tomatoes) and moviegoers mostly enjoyed it ("B" CinemaScore).
In third place we have "The Chosen Season 3: Episode 1 & 2", which opened with $8.2 million from 2,027 theaters. Pre-release projections hinted at a $6-10 million debut.
The superhero flick "Black Adam" dropped from #2 to #4 with $4.4 million. That's a 44.3% decline. The film has now grossed a total of $156.9 million domestically and another $209.2 million overseas. It all adds up to a total of $366.1 million worldwide.
The Top 5 is rounded out by the rom-com "Ticket to Paradise" with $3.2 million.
In other news, the fact-based drama "She Said" only managed a #6 debut, grossing $2.2 million from 2,022 theaters, against a $32 million budget.
