For the first time in almost two months, the box office doesn’t belong to blue people.
This image released by Universal Pictures shows Dave Bautista, from left, Abby Quinn, and Nikki Amuka-Bird in a scene from"Knock at the Cabin." After, “Avatar: The Way of Water” was finally knocked out of the No. 1 spot by the M. Night Shyamalan thriller “Knock at the Cabin” and the octogenarian comedy “80 for Brady."
The opening for “Knock at the Cabin” came up shy of some of Shyamalan's recent releases. His last film, 2021's “Old," about a beach that rapidly ages those who visit it, launched with $16.9 million and ultimately collected $90.1 million worldwide. His 2019 film “Glass," the third installment in the director's “Unbreakable” trilogy, opened with $40.3 million on its way to grossing $247 million globally.
Taking second place was “80 for Brady," a comedy about four friends who take a trip to the 2017 Super Bowl. It opened with an estimated $12.5 million. Shortly after announcingParamount Pictures employed a unique strategy in releasing “80 for Brady.” While many films have sought to capitalize on higher ticket prices through large-format or 3-D screenings or surge pricing, which films like “The Batman" have tried, Paramount went the other direction on “80 for Brady.
“Avatar: The Way of Water” slide to third with $10.8 million domestically in its eighth weekend. The film's No. 1 streak matched the run of 2009's “Avatar." In the last four decades, only those two by Cameron and his “Titanic" have had such sustained reigns atop the box office.
