As predicted, Ghostbusters: Frozen EmpireGhostbusters: Afterlife. That one debuted to $44 million in November of 2021, which was still when we were taking COVID-19 seriously, so Frozen Empire is going to need serious legs in order to make an impact.

Kicking off the other half of the top 10 is partially AI-generated horror movie Late Night With The Devil, then Imagrinary, Love Lies Bleeding, Cabrini (that’s the other church-y one), and Bob Marley: One Love (which has been on the charts for six weeks but doesn’t even have $100 million to show for it). There aren’t a lot of other interesting things happening at the domestic box office, so can we talk about how Cabrini is about the woman who was indirectly the namesake of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green complex, the home of Candyman? She’s the patron saint of immigrants and was the first American citizen canonized by the Catholic church, but we hear her name and just think “that’s where Candyman lives” or “yet another church-y movie at the U.S. box office this weekend.” Hell of a legacy.
Here’s the list again. We got it from Box Office Mojo, as usual.
