Horror film “Barbarian” wins the weekend by bringing in $10 million, according to studio estimates followed by “Brahmastra Part One: Shiva,” with $ 4.4 million
The horror film “Barbarian” won the weekend by bringing in $10 million, according to studio estimates on Sunday, as the late-summer doldrums at the box office continued.
“Barbarian” tells the story of a young woman who finds her Airbnb-rented house weirdly occupied by a stranger in a half-ruined section of Detroit. It goes on to subvert several horror conventions. “In a weekend where the overall box office is quite low, the top number of $10 million is a really solid number for this marketplace,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data firm Comscore. “Horror movies are always an accountant’s dream, and this is why.”
The film written and directed by Ayan Mukerji, about a DJ named Shiva who discovers a connection with the element of fire and an ability to awaken a supernatural super-powerful weapon, earned $4.4 million in its first weekend in North America.Long-running Hollywood fare, “Bullet Train” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” occupied the three and four spots.
