"Barbarian" filmmaker Zach Cregger's new horror film "Weapons" dominated the box office over the weekend, scoring another big win in 2025 for both the genre and Warner Bros. Meanwhile, Disney's sequel "Freakier Friday" starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis followed in second place but with a much more modest performance. Also, the fantasy horror comedy "Sketch" expanded nationwide and barely made it into the Top 10.

"Weapons" opened in first place with $43.5 million from 3,202 theaters. That's more than the entire theatrical run of director Zach Cregger's "Barbarian" ($40.8 million). The film also added another $28.3 million from overseas markets for a worldwide debut of $71.8 million against a budget estimated at around $38 million.
