Among them are &quot;Captured&quot;, a criminal thriller starring Austin Butler, &quot;The Roses&quot;, a comedy featuring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, and a remake of &quot;The Toxic Avenger&quot;. <\/p>\n<h2>New Releases<\/h2>\n<p>Sony Pictures&#8217; &quot;Captured&quot; is expected to perform well, with a forecasted debut of $9.5 million over the four-day holiday weekend. The film, directed by Darren Aronofsky, has already earned $3.2 million on its opening day and has received positive reviews from audiences. In contrast, Searchlight Pictures&#8217; &quot;The Roses&quot; is not expected to do as well, with a forecasted opening of $7 million. The comedy, which features an ensemble cast including Cumberbatch, Colman, and Andy Samberg, has earned $2.4 million on its opening day.<\/p>\n<h2>Classic Films Make a Comeback<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, Universal&#8217;s re-release of &quot;Jaws&quot; is expected to do well, with a forecasted $9.7 million over the four-day weekend. The classic thriller, which is being re-released to commemorate its 50th anniversary, has already earned $3 million on its opening day. This is impressive, considering the film was re-released just three years ago and played in 1,246 cinemas in 2022.<\/p>\n<h2>Current Box Office Standings<\/h2>\n<p>Warner Bros.&#8217; &quot;Weapons&quot; is expected to take the top spot at the box office, after being temporarily replaced by Netflix&#8217;s &quot;KPOP Demon Hunters&quot;. The horror film has added $2.7 million to its total, bringing its domestic total to $134 million. Disney&#8217;s &quot;Freaky Friday&quot; is also holding strong, adding $1.7 million to its total and bringing its domestic total to $82 million.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Notable Releases<\/h2>\n<p>The remake of &quot;The Toxic Avenger&quot; has finally been released, after a long wait. The film, which features a cast including Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay, and Elijah Wood, has earned $650,000 on its opening day and is expected to bow in the top 10. With a strong lineup of new releases and classic films, this holiday weekend is shaping up to be an exciting one at the box office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Box Office Update The holiday weekend is coming to a close, and with it, a new set of movies are making their debut.
